WARNING
Never perform a manual transfer while the
transfer switch is under load. Manual transfer is
not recommended. If performing an emergency
manual transfer, be certain to isolate the transfer
switch from all power and load sources.
Manual transferring is not recommended. If the transfer switch
fails to transfer in an emergency, an optional manual transfer
may be performed. Caution must be taken to confirm that the
transfer switch is isolated from all possible load sources before
transferring. Significant force must be supplied to the removable
lever handle to perform the transfer. When performing a
mechanical transfer, the contactor must be properly activated.
400A Manual Transfer
400A transfer switches, the manual transfer lever located on the
contactor is used to manually transfer between the utility and
generator position. A separate removable lever handle is used
to transfer the mechanism. The transfer switch is in the utility
position when reference A on the contactor is set to the ON
position and reference B is set to the OFF position. The transfer
switch is in the generator position when reference A on the
contactor is set to the OFF position and reference B is set to the
ON position. The mechanism is transferred by moving the lever
handle in the down position. See transfer instructions on the
switch mechanism. Never transfer under a load condition. Always
remove the handle from the manual transfer lever location after
each transfer.

WARNING
Never allow the removable lever handle to come
in contact with live wires or terminals.
