Deenergize both Normal – Emergency power
sources before performing inspections!
S Clean the ATS enclosure.
Brush and vacuum away any excessive dust
accumulation. Remove any moisture with a clean
cloth.

Remove the transfer switch barriers and check con-
tact condition. Replace the contacts if they become
pitted or worn excessively. Reinstall the barriers
carefully.

The transfer switch has been properly lubricated,
and under normal operating conditions no further
lubricating is required. Renew factory lubrication
if the switch is subjected to severe dust or
abnormal operating conditions. Relubricate the
operator if TS coil is replaced. Order lubrication
