NOTICE
It is recommended that the GFCI unit be tested when the generator is initially taken out of the box. Then, the generator should be tested daily at startup.
CAUTION
The GFCI module is designed to interrupt power when a ground fault exists to prevent injuries and shock hazards. DO NOT operate the generator if this test fails. Consult a qualified electrician for repair or replacement of the GFCI module.
