normal usage. However, inspection and maintenance checks
should be made on a regular basis. Maintenance will consist
mainly of keeping the transfer switch clean.

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

Contact a licensed electrical professional to inspect and clean
the inside of your transfer switch at least once a year.
