Is there a certain switch kit that is needed for this generator?

YES, but you have to determine what type of installation you want, Re; automatic or manual. And for what size load you're going to be attaching to the generator.

Are you asking about switching the power from the house to the generator? If so, here's what I did: I bought a 12-breaker panel with a transfer switch, and installed it in my home (you either need to be an electrician or know one who will install it for you...) I then grabbed the cables of the house that I wanted the generator to power and connected them to this new panel. The new panels transfer switch gets connected to a separate breaker in your existing panel for one side, and the other side gets connected to the generator cable.

I'm not sure what you mean by "switch kit". Assuming you mean transfer switch the answer is yes, it would be needed if you are planning to provide back up power for your home with this generator. A transfer switch safely connects the generator to your home while isolating the power companys power line, this will prevent the generator from sending power back out to the street. Consult a licensed electrician to get a price estimate for the switch and installation.

Hi Deborah. You can use outdoor extension cords, but the safest way to use any generator is to have a transfer switch panel/box installed. The type/size you need will depend on what you need to run off the generator. The transfer switch panels have different numbers of breakers in them. You can call an electrician to get an information and an estimate for which type of transfer panel and how many breakers you will need and what the cost would be. Also, some electric providers offer a type of direct converter which connects directly to your electric meter & takes the place of the transfer panel. Always put your safety & the safety of the electric linemen repairing the lines first! Hope this helps you! Hi Deborah.

You can change the male end plug to a twist lock or build a "pig tail" with a female receiver for the male plug on the welding machine and male twist lock on the opposite end for your generator plug in. Use 10 guage wire, minimum. Good luck!

I would definitely recommend adding a sub panel with all of the critical circuits you would need in the event of a power failure. This way you can pick and choose what appliances to run when you need them. Also eliminates the need for multiple extension cords. Generac makes a nice kit to use with that generator

Yes you can get a kit from Amazon go to Little Giant 6-CIA switch kit. You might try lifting your pump out of the water and then try resubmersing it. This will sometimes reset the switch. I would also dissemble, clean and inspect the switch and air chamber for dirt and debris before ordering the kit.

I don1t remember, my electrician took care of it. My husband said he didn`t think a switch came with it. I only have the fan, heater & light connected

You'll need a 50amp breaker, don't back feed, install an interlock. You need to make sure you can't have your generator breaker on at the same time your main breaker is on.

There is a specil 3prong connector to the generator -green, white and red - it is the only connector to use and to solar panel you can cut and splice anything to it. You would have to buy a panel fron them in order to have a connector on it like theirs

I'm sure your aware there are specific generator cutover switches that include breakers and they are much higher rated. You may want to research those first...

Check to see if your generator has a round filter. If it does, then this kit should work.

The switch will work fine for the generator battery - it will actually be overkill in that application. The switch intended application carries the full current of a marine battery to a large starter motor - which is over 100 amps ....and up to the full 500 cold cranking amp capability of a marine battery.

None, comes with mounts so all you need is a power source and a togle switch.

Yes it is not too difficult, you just need marrette connectors, a wire clamp for the fan housing and some 14 guage nmd wire to run to your switch.

There are specific switches for different fixtures. I ended up contacting leviton customer care to find the right one

The generac panel needs to be hard wired to the circuit panel and the generator. They do not have a plug for either side.

You can order a switch here on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GW57SKM/ You can see video here how to install it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FUkhede0zo
