Ground Fault Protection

PowerBOSS™	4500W Portable Generator	OPERATION

Ground Fault Protection

The duplex receptacles are equipped with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection.This device meets applicable federal, state and local codes.The generator’s locking receptacle is not protected by a GFCI.

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

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.

WARNING

Generator produces hazardous voltage/current.

•Contact with the hot and neutral conductor at the same time can cause electrical shock or burn, even if the circuit is GFCI protected.

•Before using the GFCI receptacle,ALWAYS push the test button to insure it works.

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.

•If the GFCI tests good, restore power by pressing the

“Reset” button firmly until it is fully in place and locks in that position. If the GFCI outlet does not reset properly, do not use the outlet. Call or take your generator to a local service center.

•If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test the outlet. If the reset button does not pop out when the test button is pressed, do not use the outlet. Call or take your generator to a local service center.
