12.using the gfci outlet
This charger includes two – GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets located on its back. The purpose of a GFCI outlet is to quickly stop the flow of electricity in the event a ground fault occurs on the device plugged into the battery charger’s GFCI outlet. Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) can help prevent electrical shock or electrocution.
The GFCI outlets provide auxiliary power to 120V devices that require less than 15 amps.
The GFCI must be tested before each use. To test:
12.1Push the “Reset” button located on the GFCI receptacle, first to assure normal GFCI operation.
12.2Plug a night light (with an “ON/OFF” switch) or other product (such as a lamp) into the GFCI receptacle and turn the product “ON.”
12.3Push the “Test” button located on the GFCI receptacle. The night light or other product should go “OFF.”
12.4Push the “Reset” button, again. The light or other product should go “ON” again.
Note: If the light or other product remains “ON” when the “Test” button is pushed, the GFCI is not working properly and should not be used. Call Customer Service at

12.6If you are charging a battery, the GFCI outlet should be limited to 3 amps of current draw until the charging functions are complete.
12.7The GFCI outlet should not be used while the charger is in the ENGINE START mode.
12.8If using both GFCI outlets at the same time, the amperage cannot exceed 15 amps of both devices combined.
