General Information
GENERATOR CONNECTIONS – EZ SWITCH
1. If the generator comes with an external connection box and
5' seal-tite whip pre-wired and connected to the generator, no
additional connections are necessary at the generator. Skip
the following section and proceed with Appendix A, EZ Switch
Installation & Operational Testing.
2. If the EZ Switch was purchased separately from the generator,
the 5' seal-tite whip will need to be connected to the
generator. To complete the wiring, run the ¾" conduit for the
power leads and control wires from the external connection
box to the generator.
3. Remove the two screws securing the connection area cover,
and remove the cover.

4. Feed the wires through the back of the generator and secure
the conduit with the lock nut.
5. Run the power leads through the strain relief provided.
6. The circuit breaker is attached to the exterior access panel.
7. Remove the plastic plugs inside the main breaker access area
to allow connection of the power leads to the circuit breaker.
8. Now connect the red and black power leads to the circuit
breaker. Since this is a single-phase application, it doesn't
matter which wire is connected to which lug.
9. Connect the green equipment ground wire to the ground bus
bar and torque to 35 inch lbs. The torque values are:
• 10-14 AWG = 35 in/lbs
• 8 AWG = 40 in/lbs
• 4-6 AWG = 45 in/lbs
