(Figure 3-4). 3.2.4 TRANSFER MECHANISM The transfer switch uses Cutler-Hammer SPB Type insu- lated case circuit breakers and insulated case switches with a stored-energy mechanism. An electrical operator automatically recharges the mechanism after the switch- ing device has been closed.
IB01602002E Page 8 The switching device is closed by energizing a spring 3.6 OPTIONS (NON-LOGIC PANEL) released solenoid that releases the spring mechanism. A shunt trip will open the switching device if energized. Switch options, which are not part of the logic scheme, are available to meet a variety of other application requirements.

IB01602002E Page 23 7.3 COVER REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT Many of the maintenance procedures outlined in Table 7.1 require the removal and replacement of side and rear covers. For all NEMA 1 enclosed transfer switches, see Section 7.3.1 for cover removal and replacement instructions.
IB01602002E Page 24 Cover Replacement Step 1: Grasp the cover at the sides and lift the bottom of the cover into the enclosure frame (Figure 7-4). Hold the bottom of the cover in place with your foot. Step 2: Move your hands around to the front and push the cover fully into the enclosure frame (Figure 7-5).
IB01602002E Page 25 7.3.2 NEMA 3R COVER REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT A 3/8” wrench is required to perform this procedure. Cover Removal Step 1: Locate the screws used to secure the cover to the frame and remove them with the 3/8” wrench (Figure 7-7).
IB01602002E Page 26 Cover Replacement Step 1: Place the cover against the frame (Figure 7-10). Step 2: Locate the cover lifting handles (provided with the equipment) and insert the tabs into the screw holes (Figure 7-11). Step 3: Grasp the cover lifting handles and pull up, slid ing the upper cover flange under the roof flange (Figure 7-12).
