Operation

Ground Fault Protection

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

The GFCI protects against electrical shock that may be caused if your body becomes a path 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.

DANGER

Generator produces powerful voltage.

The GFCI will not protect you against the following situations: -Line-to-line shocks;

-Current overloads or line-to-line short circuits.

The fuse or circuit breaker at the control panel must provide such protection.

Testing the GFCI

Test your GFCI outlet every month and before 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 a qualified electrician.

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 a local service center.

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