nal block in the location labeled 0 (ground).
Installing Remote Emergency
Shutdown Switch
The remote emergency shutdown switch provided in the
kit is intended to be installed onto lower side wall of trans-
fer switch enclosure (below live electrical parts), or an ap-
proved electrical enclosure. The installer may use an
alternative UL rated switch if approved by AHJ. Proceed
as follows to install remote emergency shutdown switch:
1. Drill a 13/16 in (20.5 mm) diameter hole in the elec-
trical enclosure in the AHJ-required switch location.
Verify both sides of mounting surface are smooth to
maintain IP65 rating of the switch.
2. Install remote emergency shutdown switch so as
the installation is watertight and the UP position is
OFF (OPEN) and the DOWN position is ON
(CLOSED).
3. Verify switch ON position (normally closed) using a
continuity tester.
4. See
Figure

gency Shutdown decal next to remote emergency
shutdown switch.

1. Locate wires 395A and 395B. These wires need to
be connected to the remote emergency shutdown
switch in the location required by the AHJ.
2. Strip each wire ¼ inch, locate the provided spade
terminals, and crimp them onto the 395A and 395B
wires.
3. Connect terminals to remote emergency shutdown
switch.
Testing Remote Emergency
Shutdown Switch Operation
Proceed as follows to test remote emergency shutdown
switch operation:
1. Verify emergency shutdown switch(es) are ON.
2. Manually start generator using control panel.
3. Set one emergency shutdown switch to OFF while
engine
immediately.
a. If engine stops: Turn emergency shutdown
switch ON, clear alarm on controller, and start
engine to verify generator is operating nor-
mally. Verify operation of second and third
switch.
b. If engine does not stop: Emergency shut-
down switch is not functioning correctly. Stop
generator using control panel, and inspect wir-
ing installation. Contact Generac Technical
Support if problem cannot be identified or if as-
sistance is required.
4. Show user how to operate emergency shutdown
switch after testing and validating correct remote
emergency shutdown switch operation. Remind
them remote emergency shutdown switch is not in-
tended to be the primary means to shut down gen-
