• Competent, qualified personnel should install,
operate and service this equipment. Adhere strictly
to local, state and national electrical and building
codes. When using this equipment, comply with
regulations the National Electrical Code (NEC),
CSA Standard; C22.1 Canadian Electric Code and
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) have established.
• Never handle any kind of electrical device while
standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or
feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK
MAY RESULT.
• Jewelry conducts electricity and wearing it may
cause dangerous electrical shock. Remove all jew-
elry (such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc.) before
working on this equipment.
• If work must be done on this equipment while
standing on metal or concrete, place insulative
mats over a dry wood platform. Work on this
equipment only while standing on such insulative
mats.
• Never work on this equipment while physically or
mentally fatigued.
• Keep the transfer switch enclosure door closed
and bolted at all times. Only qualified personnel
should be permitted access to the switch interior.
• In case of an accident caused by electric shock,
immediately shut down the source of electrical
power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the
victim from the live conductor but AVOID DIRECT
CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconduct-
ing implement, such as a dry rope or board, to free
the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is
unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate
medical help.
• When an automatic transfer switch is installed for
a standby generator set, the generator engine may
crank and start at any time without warning. To
avoid possible injury that might be caused by such
sudden start-ups, the system's automatic start cir-
cuit must be disabled before working on or around
the generator or transfer switch. For that purpose,
a SAFETY DISCONNECT is provided inside the
transfer switch. Always set that switch to its OFF
position before working on the equipment. Then
place a "DO NOT OPERATE" tag on the transfer
switch and on the generator. Remove the Negative
(Neg) or (-) battery cable.
