In order to manually transfer load from the utility source to the generator, follow these directions:
•Turn OFF or disconnect the utility power circuit to the transfer switch, using the means provided (such as the utility source main line circuit breaker).
•Set the transfer handle to its UTILITY (NORMAL) position with load circuits connected to the utility power supply.
•Set the stationary emergency generator'smain line circuit breaker to its OFF (or OPEN) position.
•Start the generator.
•Let engine stabilize and warm up.
•Check all applicable instrument and gauge readings. When certain that all readings are correct, move the transfer switch manual handle to its STANDBY (GENERATOR) position, i.e, load circuits supplied by the generator.
•Set the stationary emergency generator'smain line circuit breaker to its ON (or CLOSED) position.
•Load circuits are now powered by the stationary emergency generator.
RETRANSFER AND SHUTDOWN
For additional information, refer to the applicable control panel manual for this unit, as well as any literature pertaining to the transfer switch.
To manually transfer the load back to the utility power source and shut down the generator, follow these directions:
•Set the stationary emergency generator'smain line circuit breaker to its OFF (or OPEN) position.
•Manually move the transfer switch handle to its UTILITY (NOR- MAL) position, i.e., load cirCUits connected to the utility.
