Ground Fault Protection

This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).This device meets applicable federal, state and local codes.

The GFCI protects against electrical shock that may be caused if your body becomes a path which electricity travels to reach ground.This could happen if you touch a “Live” appliance or wire, or are touching plumbing or other materials that connect to the ground.

2.If handle moves to center, reset circuit breaker by firmly moving handle to “Off” (down) position, then to “On” (up) position.

CAUTION

If circuit breaker does not reset properly:

DO NOT use generator.

Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.

When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but the GFCI should cut current off quickly enough so that a person in normal health should not suffer any serious electrical injury.

DANGER

Generator produces powerful voltage.

The GFCI will not protect you against the following situations: -Line-to-line shocks;

-Current overloads or line-to-line short circuits.

The fuse or circuit breaker at the control panel must provide such protection.

Test GFCI Circuit Breaker

Test your GFCI circuit breaker (Figure 10) every month, as follows:

Figure 10 — GFCI Circuit Breaker

1.While generator is running, push white “Test” button. The circuit breaker should trip (handle will move to approximate center position), which will disconnect power to outlets.

CAUTION

If circuit breaker does not trip:

DO NOT use generator.

Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.

During Generator Use

If circuit breaker trips during use, it usually indicates faulty electrical equipment or cords. However, test the circuit breaker as follows;

1.Disconnect loads, reset and test circuit breaker as described earlier. Let generator run without any loads for 1 minute.

CAUTION

If circuit breaker trips in the 1 minute period:

DO NOT use generator.

Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.

2.If circuit breaker tests correctly, the electrical equipment or extension cords may be faulty. Replace faulty electrical equipment and cords before further use.

CAUTION

If circuit breaker tests correctly:

Have qualified personnel check all electrical equipment and cords for any defects.

Replace electrical equipment and cords or take to a qualified repair center.

DANGER

Generator produces powerful voltage.

DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.

DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.

DO NOT operate generator in the rain.

DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator or electrical loads.
