Maintenance - Briggs & Stratton 100 AMP AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH Installation And Operator's Manual

Maintenance

The transfer switch is designed to be maintenance free under
normal usage. However, inspection and maintenance checks
should be made on a regular basis. Maintenance will consist
mainly of keeping the transfer switch clean.
Visual inspections should be done at least three times each
year. Access to the transfer switch and optional remote
modules must not be obstructed. Keep 3 feet (92 cm)
clearance around transfer switch. Check for an accumulation
of dirt, moisture and/or corrosion on and around the
enclosure, loose parts/hardware, cracks and/or discoloration
to insulation, and damaged or discolored components.
Exercise the transfer switch and Symphony II system at
least once every three months as described in Testing the
Automatic Transfer Switch and in Testing the Symphony II
Power Management System unless a power outage occurs
and the entire home generator system has gone through
an automatic sequence. Allow generator to run for at least
10 minutes during exercise cycle.
Contact a licensed electrical professional to inspect and
clean the inside of the enclosure and other components of
your home generator system at least once a year.
