MANUAL LOAD TRANSFER | MAINTENANCE HANDLE |
This procedure manually transfers load to other source if the Transfer Switch or Control Panel are out of service.
Close enclosure doors to prevent personal injury in case of electrical system fault.
1.Be sure that the Bypass Handle is CLOSED on either Emergency or Normal (see page
2.Be sure that the Isolation Handle is in the TEST or ISOLATE position (see page
3.Turn the Bypass Handle counterclockwise to OPEN the Bypass Switch. Then Bypass to the other source (see page
Bypass and isolate the Transfer Switch before using the maintenance handle! See pages
