Ground Fault Protection

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

Test GFCI Circuit Breaker

Test your GFCI circuit breaker (see “Control Panel Controls and Features” for location) every month, as follows:

1.While generator is running and control panel cover open, 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.

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

CAUTION

If circuit breaker does not reset properly:

•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.Open control panel cover, 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.
