OPERATION

120 Volt AC, 15 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacles

Each duplex receptacle (Figure 7) is protected against overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

Figure 7 — 120 Volt, 15 Amp GFCI Duplex Receptacle

NOTE: If the double pole circuit breaker is tripped, the duplex receptacles are disconnected.

Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 1,800 watts (1.8 kW) at 15 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for

125 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater). Inspect cord sets before each use.

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.

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.

GENERATOR ADAPTER CORD SET

The generator is equipped with a 25’ generator adapter cord set designed for a 240 Volt, 20 Amp grounded neutral circuit (Figure 8).The generator adapter cord set provides a convenient supply of emergency power into your dwelling so that your generator can be operated safely outside.

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.

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.

The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps.The maximum total load on both blue wire outlets or black wire outlets is 20 Amps.

IMPORTANT: This generator’s locking receptacle and the provided adapter cord set are not protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If used on an OSHA governed job site, appropriate GFCI protection must be utilized.

NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any extension cord or device to the generator.
