Section 6 Scheduled Maintenance

Regular preventive maintenance ensures safe and

reliable operation and extends the life of the transfer

switch.

Preventive maintenance includes periodic

testing, cleaning, inspection, and replacement of worn

or missing components.

Have maintenance or service performed by a local

authorized distributor/dealer. Maintenance and service

must comply with all applicable codes and standards.

See the Service Assistance section in this manual for

how to locate a local distributor/dealer.

The transfer switch Operation Manual contains the

Service Schedule and other maintenance information.

Refer to the Operation Manual shipped with the transfer

switch, or check which controller is used on your transfer

switch and see Figure 6-1 for the Operation Manual part

number.

Keep records of all maintenance or service.
