from moisture, construction grit, and metal chips. Avoid
storage in low-temperature and high-humidity areas
where moisture could condense on the unit. See

2.2.4 Unpacking
Allow the equipment to warm to room temperature for at
least 24 hours before unpacking to prevent condensation
on the electrical apparatus. Use care when unpacking
to avoid damaging transfer switch components.
Remove dirt and packing material that may have
accumulated in the transfer switch or any of its
components.
Note: Do not use compressed air to clean the transfer
switch. Cleaning with compressed air can cause
debris to lodge in the components and damage
the switch.
Open the enclosure door to remove the lag screws that
secure the enclosure to the wood skid. Remove any
shipping angles before attempting to operate the
transfer switch.

switch. See Figure 2-3.
