Testing the GFCI

Test your GFCI outlet prior to each use, as follows:

•Push the black “Test” button.The red “Reset” button should pop out, which should allow no power to reach the outlet. Use a test lamp in each outlet to test this.

CAUTION

The “Reset” button does not pop out or the test lamp remains lit when the “Reset” button is popped out.

•DO NOT use any outlets on the circuit.

•Call or take your generator to a local service center.
