3.Note position of transfer mechanism main con- tacts by observing the moveable contact carrier arm.

•Manual operation handle towards the top of switch mechanism - LOAD terminals (T1, T2) are connected to UTILITY terminals (N1, N2).

•Manual operation handle towards the bottom of switch mechanism - LOAD terminals (T1, T2) are connected to EMERGENCY terminals (E1, E2).

Do not use excessive force when operating the transfer switch manually or damage could be done to the manual handle.

Before proceeding, verify the position of the switch by observing the position of manual operation handle in Figure 4.2. If the handle is UP, the contacts are closed in the NORMAL position, no further action is required. If the handle is DOWN, proceed with Step 1.

Step 1: With the handle inserted into the actuating shaft, move handle UP. Be sure to hold on to the handle as it will move quickly after the center of travel.
