3.2 MANUAL OPERATION
DANGER

Do NOT manually transfer under load.
Disconnect transfer switch from all power sourc-
es by approved means, such as a main circuit
breaker(s).
A manual HANDLE is shipped with the transfer
switch. Manual operation must be checked BEFORE
the transfer switch is operated electrically. To check
manual operation, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the generator’s AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch
to OFF.
2. Turn OFF both UTILITY and EMERGENCY power
supplies to the transfer switch, with whatever
means provided (such as the main line circuit
breakers).
3. Note position of transfer mechanism main con-
tacts by observing display windows in “A” and “B”
in Figure 3.1 on page 6 as follows:
• Window “A” ON, Window “B” OFF - LOAD termi-
nals (T1, T2, T3) are connected to utility termi-
nals (N1, N2, N3).
• Window “A” OFF, Window “B” ON - LOAD termi-
nals (T1, T2, T3) are connected to emergency
terminals (E1, E2, E3).

Do not use excessive force when operating the
transfer switch manually or the manual handle
could be damaged.
3.2.1 CLOSE TO NORMAL SOURCE SIDE
Before proceeding, verify the position of the switch
by observing window “A” in Figure 3.1. If window “A”
reads “ON”, the contacts are closed in the normal
position, no further action is required. If it reads
“OFF”, proceed with Step 1.
Step 1: With the handle attached to the actuating
shaft, move handle in the direction of the
arrow on the switch cover until it stops
— DO NOT FORCE. Release handle slowly
to allow the spring in the switch box to relax.
“ON” now appears in Window “A” and “OFF”
appears in Window “B”.
