3.4.2 TRANSFER BACK TO UTILITY POWER SOURCE
When utility power has been restored, transfer back to that source
and shut down the generator. This can be accomplished as fol
lows:
1. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to its OFF (or OPEN)
position.
2. Let the engine run for a minute or two at no-load to stabilize
the internal temperatures.
3. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its OFF (or
OPEN) position. The engine should shut down.
4. Check that utility power supply to thetransfer switch is turned
OFF.
ADO NOT attempt to activate the transfer
switch manually until all power voltage sup

3.5.1 MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER
This is a 2-pole breaker rated according to the Specifications sec
tion.
3.5.2 EXTERIOR READY LIGHTS
• Green LED 'Ready' light is on when utility is present and switch
is in AUTO indicating the generator is ready and when the gen
erator is running.
• Red LED 'Alarm' light is on when the generator is OFF or a fault
is detected. (See the Protections Systems section.)
• Yellow LED 'Maintenance' light (See the Protections Systems
section.)
3.5.3 120 VAC GFCI OUTLET & 15 AMP BREAKER
Some models are equipped with an external, 15 amp, 120 volt,
GFCI convenience outlet that is located in a compartment on the
right side of generator (Figure 1.3).
When the generator is running, in the absence of utility power, this
outlet may also be used to power items outside your home such
as lights or power tools. This outlet may also be used when utility
power is present by running the generator in manual mode. This
outlet does not provide power if the generator is not running. This
outlet is protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker in the same com
partment as the outlet. (Do not use when the generator is running
in exercise mode.)
