If I'm running our Champion C46540 off the RV power plug to our home which is 120 volts only, and then need to power the 220 volt pump for our solar water heater for a while, is it OK to just flip the toggle switch on the C46540 while it is running or do I need to turn the engine off, toggle the switch, then restart the engine again?
The sequence would go like this:
1. Switch all of the toggle switches on the transfer switch "off" of the C46540.
2. Toggle the C46540 from RV mode to 220 volt mode while it is still running.
3. Plug the solar water heater pump into the C46540.
Later:
4. Unplug the solar water heater pump from the C46540.
5. Toggle the C46540 from 220 volt mode to RV mode while it is still running.
6. Toggle the switches on the transfer switch to apply generator power back to the house circuits.
