1 – Manual Operation Test
A detachable operator handle is provided on the transfer switch for maintenance purposes only. Manual operation of the transfer switch must be checked before it is operated electrically.
Do not manually operate the transfer switch until both power sources are disconnected: open both circuit breakers.
1.Select the appropriate switch design / amp. size and follow directions for installing and using the handle:
1600 – 3000 amp.
4000 amp.
Insert the manual handle into the hole in the weight.
2.Move the handle as shown to manually operate the Transfer Switch. The switch should operate smooth- ly without binding. If it does not, check for shipping damage or construction debris. Repeat the manual operation check on the other Transfer Switch.
