GE
Zenith’s focus.

nance will help increase the life of the switch.
Equipment Inspection

Once you have received the transfer switch, inspect
it for any damage. This includes damage to the enclo-
sure, power panel, control panel and wiring harness. If
any damage is found or suspected, file a claim as soon as
possible with the carrier and notify the nearest
GE

Final Equipment Inspection
Prior to energizing the transfer switch:
1.
Remove any debris incurred, with a vacuum,
due to shipment or installation.
WARNING
Do not use a blower since debris may
become lodged in the electrical and
mechanical components and cause damage.
2.
Verify that all cabled connections are correct.
3.
Check engine start connections and verify
the correct connection of all control wires.
4.
Check the lug torque values of the power
connections.
NOTE
:
Lug torque values are specified
in the power panel manual.
5.
Make sure that all covers and barriers are
installed and properly fastened.
NOTE
:
Power panels ship from GE Zenith
in the Normal Position.
CAUTION
Before drilling conduit entry holes or any
accessory mounting holes, cover and protect
the switch and control panel to prevent dirt
and metal fragments from entering the
mechanical and electrical components.
Failure to do so may result in
damage and malfunction of the switch.
NOTE
:
When lifting the switch using a spreader bar,
height H must be equal to half of distance D.
