condition, regardless of condition of the utility and generator supplies (i.e. if

the utility power fails, the generator will not receive a start signal, nor will the

Disconnect Light is not illuminated, additional procedures are required (refer

to the following procedure #5.2.4).

3. Attach safety lockout padlock to the "Service Disconnect" control switch to

prevent unauthorized change in operating condition and verify transfer switch

door is locked closed. If the door is not locked, turn and remove door key.
