What to do with ground wires ?

I have a manual transfer switch. It has two 240V sources coming in. Both have 4 wires : L1, L2, N and Ground.

The box has only places to connect 3 wires. No place for the small (8 gauge) grounds.

Do I connect the grounds to the neutral bar ? I could put one neutral wire and 1 ground wire together in each hole.

I didn't want to screw this up.
 
If your ground is in a groundbar in your main box, just buy a busbar mount it in the transfer switch box (screwed into the metal) and connect the grounds. Most likely the ground and neutrals are connected, but they do separate them in the box.
 
I'm really not up to date on this but a main panel can have neutrals and grounds connected to the same bar but any panel after the main the neutral needed to be isolated or Float from the ground bar, I don't remember why since I've been out of electrical for a good while now and I think my National code book is an old 2014? I do think a "Means Of Disconnect" would be the same as a sub panel if it has a Neutral though

Same here. Looks like those who are very close to cities get great service now, and they could care less about the rest of us. Live rural? Too bad, we get it to you when we feel like it, and you'll learn to live with it and like it.

It's a push for the 15 minute cities.

I just did a search for "Amazon Warehouse near Nashville".
They have four of them ; all on the east/southeast side of Nashville.
About 30 miles from me.
