MANUAL LOAD TRANSFER
This procedure will manually transfer the load if the
controller is disconnected.
Do not manually operate the transfer switch
until both power sources are disconnected
(all conductors deenergized).
1. Deenergize both the normal and emergency source
conductors (remove fuses or open circuit break-
ers).
2. Use the maintenance handle to manually operate
the transfer switch to the opposite source. See
Manual Operation on page 1–2.
3. If the transfer switch is in the Emergency position
manually start the engine generator and then
install emergency source fuse or close the circuit
breaker.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Note any optional accessories that may be furnished on
the automatic transfer switch (ATS) and review their
operation. Refer to any separate drawings and/or
instructions that may be packed with the ATS.
Hazardous voltage capable of causing shock,
burns, or death is used in this switch.
Do not touch the power or load terminals
of the transfer switch!
