SAFETY
GFCI
The generator is equipped with Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles. In the event of a ground
fault, a GFCI trips automatically to stop the flow of electricity
and prevent serious injury. The green indicator light (A)
on the receptacle will also turn off. Push the "RESET" (B)
button located on the front of the receptacle to restore the
flow of electricity. The indicator light will turn back on. GFCI
does not protect against circuit overloads.
A
To check the proper operation of a GFCI receptacle:
1. With the generator running, plug a lamp into the GFCI
receptacle. Turn the lamp on.
2. Press the "TEST" (C) button located on the front of the
receptacle to trip the device. This should immediately
stop the flow of electricity and shut off the lamp. If the
electricity is not stopped, DO NOT use this receptacle
until it has been serviced or replaced.
3. Press the "RESET" button located on the front of the
receptacle to restore the flow of electricity. If the indicator
light does not come back on or if the GFCI cannot be
reset then it must be replaced.
Some stationary motors, such as a bathroom vent fan,
fluorescent lighting fixtures or some refrigerators, may
produce enough current leakage to cause nuisance
tripping. To avoid nuisance tripping, a GFCI should not
supply: fluorescent or other types of electric-discharge
lighting fixtures or permanently installed electric motors,
like air conditioners, furnaces or refrigerators.
