CONNECTING DEVICES
Do not connect devices with worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged electrical cords
to the generator. Electrical shorts caused by damaged wiring can damage the generator,
and touching live damaged electrical cords or bare wires will cause serious injury or
death. To avoid these electrocution hazards, inspect all electrical cords before using them
and do not use any cords that are damaged or showing bare wires.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI)
Your generator may be equipped with ground fault circuit interrupting (GFCI) receptacles.
The purpose of these devices are to protect you from electrical shock in the instance
where an electrical fault is located within your connected device(s).
The GFCI monitors the amount of current flowing to and returning from your connected
device. Should the amount of current returning be lower than the amount flowing to the
device, the GFCI will "trip", instantly stopping the flow of electricity. Should the GFCI
continuously trip when a device is connected, this is an indication that an electrical
fault is located within the device and it should be serviced by an qualified electrical
technician before further usage. It is imperative that you test the GFCI unit(s) each time
the generator is to be used.
Testing the GFCI receptacle(s)
1. Start the generator as indicated on pages 25 and 26.
2. Turn the circuit breaker(s) ON if they are in the OFF position.
3. Press the TEST button (1) on the GFCI receptacle(s). You should hear a "click" or
"snap" sound and
4. Press the RESET button (3) to energize the receptacle;
Should the above test fail, discontinue use of the generator until it can be serviced by a
qualified service technician.
