Default Problem with Generac Transfer switch

Michael, I'm glad to see that you didn't need / use the Generac maintenance
manual link I sent previously to you. Also glad your problem is solved. Good
luck with your new Generac. Mine works beautifully and I hope yours does as
well.

Just started up my Generac Natural Gas generator for the first time
today.

Transfer switch automatically switched over to generator power as
expected however, when I turned utility power back on the switch did
not transfer back to utility.

I had to open the switch and manually transfer back to the utility
position.

This happened both times I tested.

Any input as to what would prevent the switch from switching back to
utility?


Problem found and solved by the electrician!

Turns out that there was a wire, in the generator control panel, pinched
under the grounding screw.

Works perfectly now.
