UNPACkING
1. Use care when unpacking to avoid damaging transfer switch
components.
2. Allow the ATS to acclimate to room temperature for
a minimum of 24 hours before unpacking to prevent
condensation on the electrical apparatus.
3. Use a wet/dry vacuum cleaner or a dry cloth to remove dirt
and packing material that may have accumulated in the
transfer switch or any of its components during storage.
4. Do not use compressed air to clean the switch, cleaning with
compressed air can cause debris to lodge in the components
and damage the switch per the ATS manufacturers
specifications.
5. Retain the ATS manual with or near the ATS for future
reference.
