Transferring from Generator Power to Utility Power:
1. On the transfer switch, turn Generator MAIN breaker OFF and turn Utility MAIN breaker ON.
2. Turn ON any branch circuit breakers in the transfer switch that are OFF.
3. Shut down the generator, following the procedures in the generator Owner’s Manual.
4. Unplug the power cord from the generator and then the power inlet.
5. Cool off the generator and store in a dry, secured location.
6. To ensure that your generator will work properly when you need it, it is important to start and run your generator under load regularly and keep the tank filled with fresh fuel.
Perform the above steps at least ONCE A MONTH to keep the generator properly “exercised.” It is not necessary to turn off any circuits in the MAIN load center when supplying
generator power to the transfer switch.
