600A Manual Transfer
In 600A transfer switches, the manual transfer lever (M) 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. 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.

The transfer switch is in the utility position when reference A on

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, as seen in 400A Manual
Transfer on page 18.
The switch should need to be transferred manually only in the
event of a failure within the VTS controls. Please call technical
support if any transfer failures are observed.
