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.
