MANUAL LOAD TRANSFER
This procedure manually transfers load to other source i f
the Transfer Switch or Control Panel are out of service.
Close enclosure doors to prevent personal
injury in case of electrical system fault.
1. Be sure that the Bypass Handle is CLOSED onei ther
Emergency or Normal (see page 3–1).
2. Be sure that the Isolation Handle is in the TEST or
ISOLA TE position (see page 3–2).
3. TurntheBypassHandlecounterclockwisetoOPEN
the Bypass Switch. Then Bypass to the other source
(see page 3–1).
MAINTENANCE HANDLE
Bypass and isolate the Transfer Switch before
using the maintenance handle! See pages 3–1
and 3–2. Remove the hub and handle after
using them and store on frame.
