You have a link to one of those video's by any chance? After our power got knocked out last Friday for awhile, I decided it's high time to wire my Generator up to our panel to power the house in emergencies. I don't want to pay an electrician either. I'd really like to see what's involved in doing it if there's a video online somewhere that you can share.

BTW, you make an excellent overall point: in this economy it's damn' important we know how to fix things ourselves. IN the last year our diswasher, washer and dryer all required repair. I repaired all three myself using YouTube video's and ordering the parts online. Fixing the dryer would've been an easy $150. Washer probably another $200 and the Dishwasher an easy $250. Parts for all three cost about $125 in total so I saved myself a chunk of change and had the satisfaction of a job well done.

And I'm far from very mechanically inclined on this stuff. Gotta love instructional video's on YouTube.

There was a DVD included in the package which laid things out so even I could understand it. LOL.

Reliance Mfg. made the switch, the ProTran model. You could try A Google search to see if someone posted it. Sorry I can’t be of more help. And thanks for the support. Apparently I’m some kind of Enemy of the State because I did the job myself.

Good luck.
