Nteunting Guidelines
Thesystem circuitry is enclosed in a NEMAType3R
enclosure suitable for indoor_outdoor use.Guidelinesfor
mounting the enclosure include:
° Install enclosure ona firm, sturdy supporting structure.
° The enclosure must be installed with minimum
NEMA3R hardwarefor conduit connections.
, To prevent switch contact distortion, leveland plumb
the enclosure.This can be done by placing washers
betweenthe enclosure and the mounting surface.
, NEVERinstall the switch whereany corrosive
substance might drip onto the enclosure.
, Protect the switch at all times against excessive
moisture, dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and
corrosive vapors.
Typical automatic transfer switch installations are depicted
below, it is best if the transfer switch is mounted near
the utility meter,either insideor outside. Discuss layout
suggestions/changes with the owner beforebeginning the
system installation process.

Maintenance
Thetransfer switch is designed to be maintenancefree under
normal usage. However,inspection and maintenancechecks
should be made on aregular basis. Maintenancewill consist
mainly of keepingthe transfer switch clean.
Visual inspections should be done at least once amonth.
Accessto transfer switch must not be obstructed. Keep
3 feet (92 cm) clearancearound transfer switch. Check
for an accumulation of dirt, moisture and/or corrosion
on and around the enclosure, loose parts/hardware,
cracks and/or discoloration to insulation, and damagedor
discolored components.
Exercisethe transfer switch at leastonce ever},three months
as described in Testing the Automatic Transfer Switch unless
a power outage occurs and homegenerator system has gone
through an automatic sequence.Allow generatorto run for at
least 30 minutes.
Contact a licensed electrical professional to inspect and clean
the inside of the enclosure and other components of your
home generator systemat least once a year.
When Calling for Assistance
You must have the Model Number andSerial Numberfrom
the unit ID label at hand if it is necessaryto contact alocal
servicecenter regarding service or repair of this unit. Obtain
this information from the unit ID labellocated on or inside the
enclosure.
To contact Briggs & Stratton call800-743-4115, between
