Applying Device Load

The electrical device requiring power should not exceed the capacity of the POWERLINK system (See The Power in POWERLINK). It is recommended that all electrical devices and extension cords plugged into the GFCI receptacle have a three prong terminal. If using more than one electrical device, plug-in and start the higher rated load first.

WARNING	Unintentional start-up can result in
	entanglement, traumatic
	amputation, or laceration.

•Always ensure the device being plugged into the system is OFF before connecting it to the GFCI receptacle.

•Check device being connected for bare wires, or frayed electrical cords.

Types of products (requiring 1500 watts or less*) that could be powered by the POWERLINK system:

Hedge trimmer	Circular saw	Lighting
Refrigerator	Furnace Blower	Freezer
Hand tools	Chain saw	String trimmer
Television	Sump pump	Edger
Radio	Computer

*Always confirm the product’s power rating before plugging into the POWERLINK system.

CAUTION: Do not connect a battery charger, or charge batteries from POWERLINK. This could cause damage to the battery charger or the POWERLINK system.

Electrical Operating Power Loss

The POWERLINK system has safety features to protect the system and the operator. The electrical output of the POWERLINK system will shut down at any electrical overload caused by temperature or a system overload.

On an overload, the reset opens and disconnects electrical power to the GFCI receptacle, tripping the system. A manual reset switch, located on the tractor, has been installed to reset the electrical output of the POWERLINK system. Once reset, operating power is returned and the work load can be reconnected.

If the system continually trips, causing the operator to reset, increase engine speed. If engine is running at top speed and the system is still tripping, the system is being overloaded. Decrease the load.

If power does not resume after reset, it may be a thermal overload. Wait 15 minutes before actuating the reset.

The electrical operating output will also cease if there is a ground fault. The GFCI receptacle will trip to protect the operator. See also, Resetting the POWERLINK System.

Do not perform any modifications to WARNING the POWERLINK On-Board Generator System, the inverter, or

the GFCI receptacle.

Never tamper with engine governed speed.

Resetting the POWERLINKE System

[1]Turn off any device or appliance that was in use prior to the loss of electrical operating power.

[2]Verify if the RESET button on GFCI receptacle has not been tripped.

Note: The RESET button will pop out if tripped. To restore, press the RESET button.

[3]The engine must be running and the parking brake must be set.

[4]Actuate the POWERLINK reset switch. Move the reset switch to the OFF position and then return it to the ON position. For the operators safety, there is a two second delay in power to the GFCI receptacle after reset.

TESTING THE GFCI

To ensure proper operation, and avoid injury the GFCI receptacle should be tested before every use.

[1]Have the POWERLINK system running and the power reset.

[2]Plug in a lamp or radio for verification that electrical power is present.

[3]Press the GFCI TEST button in order to trip the system and stop the flow of electricity.

[4]If the device is still being powered, the GFCI is not working properly. Seek an Authorized Service Dealer.

[5]If the power goes off, the GFCI is working properly. To restore power, press the RESET button.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE OF POWERLINK SYSTEM

WARNING	Repairs to the POWERLINK
	system and wiring must be done by

	must be in the original position when
	the repair is complete.

The GFCI must be replaced with the appropriate parts listed in UL Standard 943, Class A and conforming to N.E.C. requirements.

Units built before an engine date code of 040201 must be replaced with Eagle GFCI p/n GF15BK (B&S p/n 699146).

Units built after an engine date code of 040131 must be replaced with Hubbell/Bryant GFCI p/n GF53BKA (B&S p/n 790239).

Care must be exercised when WARNING removing and installing the engine

flywheel. The force of the flywheel magnets is extremely high and they will rapidly draw the flywheel to the engine. Hand and/or finger injury can result. A lift must be used to remove and install the flywheel. Always consult an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer on

the service of this engine.
