Operation

To operate the switch manually or if breaker trips, unplug P3 from 

S3 to disconnect the motor circuit.  Turn and hold brake release 

lever to "HOLD FOR MANUAL OPERATION" position, and then 

rotate manual operator knob in either direction to move ATS into 

desired position.  Then let go of brake release lever for "AUTO-

MATIC OPERATION" (Figures 1 and 2).

 

NOTICE

IF A TRANSFER SWITCH WITH ANY KIND OF ELECTRICAL OPERAT-

ING CAPABILITIES IS TO BE OPERATED MANUALLY UTILIZING THE 

MANUAL OPERATING HANDLE, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED 

THAT THE TRANSFER MOTOR CIRCUIT FIRST BE ISOLATED.  THIS IS 

ACCOMPLISHED BY UNPLUGGING THE S3 PLUG MARKED MOTOR 

DISCONNECT.  IF, HOWEVER, A TRANSFER SWITCH IS SUPPLIED 

WITH A FOUR POSITION SELECTOR SWITCH (OPTION 6H), IT CAN 

BE TURNED TO THE "OFF" POSITION, MAKING IT UNNECESSARY TO 

UNPLUG THE S3 PLUG.  IN THE CASE OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANS-

FER SWITCH DESIGN, ANY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE MANUAL 

HANDLE WITHOUT FIRST ISOLATING THE MOTOR CIRCUIT CAUSES 

AN AUTOMATIC TRANSFER.
