4.1 OPERATE TRANSFER SWITCH
Operate the transfer switch at least once each month.
This can be done by performing a NORMAL TEST of
the system. Because the System Test switch only sim-
ulates failure of the UTILITY power source, service
will be interrupted only during the actual transfer of
the load.
4.2 CLEAN AND INSPECT TRANSFER
SWITCH
Protect the transfer switch against construction grit,
metal chips, excessive moisture and other harmful
dirt at all times. At least once each year, turn OFF all
power supplies to the switch, then brush and vacuum
away dust and dirt that has accumulated inside the
enclosure. After cleaning, inspect the transfer switch
carefully. Look for evidence of arcing, burning, hot
spots, charring and other damage. If any of these are
found, have the switch assembly checked by an
authorized service technician.
4.3 LUBRICATION
Operating parts inside the transfer mechanism have
been properly lubricated at the time of assembly.
Under normal conditions no additional lubrication
should be required. The service technician should
lubricate all recommended points whenever major
transfer mechanism components are replaced.
Use only specified greases to lubricate contac-
tor parts. DO NOT USE ANY SUBSTITUTES.
Use the following lubricants for the:
1. Main Contacts (Between movable contact and
busbars).
• Dow Corning (Molykote) BR2 Plus; (Mfg. by Dow
Corning Co., USA)
• Liqui-Moly (Mfg. by DAI TO Co., Ltd., Japan)
2. Operating Mechanism (Used on the actuator and
other parts of the contactors. Excluding the mov-
able contacts).
• Mobilgrease 28 (Mfg. by Mobil Oil Co.)
• Mobiltemp SHC 32 (Mfg. by Mobil Oil Co.)
• Polo Moly Complex Grease #NLG12 (Mfg. by Polo
Lubricants, USA)
• Rheolube 363 (Mfg. by Nye Lubricants Inc., USA)
4.4 MAIN CURRENT CARRYING
CONTACTS
At least once annually, have an Authorized Service
Technician check the main current carrying contacts
in the transfer mechanism. They will repair or
replace major components that have been found
defective.
