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 once a month.

Access to transfer switch 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 at least once every three months

as described in the previous section “Testing the Automatic

Transfer Switch” unless a power outage occurs and Home

Generator System has gone through automatic sequence.

Allow generator to run for at least 30 minutes.
Contact a licensed electrical professional to inspect and clean

the inside of your transfer switch at least once a year.
