Ground Fault Protection - Briggs & Stratton PRO10000 Operator's Manual

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles
The duplex receptacle is protected against overload by a
push–to–reset circuit breaker and/or a 2 pole GFCI circuit
breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single-phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at
20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt
AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater). Inspect cord sets before
each use.
12 Volt DC, 10 Amp Receptacle
This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt automotive
or utility style storage battery with the battery charge cables
provided.
This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can not
be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery. See
the section Charging a Battery before attempting to recharge
a battery.

Ground Fault Protection

This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI). This device meets applicable federal, state and local
codes.
The GFCI protects against electrical shock that may be
caused if your body becomes a path which electricity travels
to reach 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.
WARNING Generator produces hazardous
voltage/current.
• The GFCI will not protect you against the following situations:
-Line-to-line shocks;
-Current overloads or line-to-line short circuits.
• The fuse or circuit breaker at the control panel must provide
such protection.
Test GFCI Circuit Breaker
Test your GFCI circuit breaker every month, as follows:
1. While generator is running, push white "Test" button.
The circuit breaker should trip (handle will move to
approximate center position), which will disconnect
power to outlets.
CAUTION If circuit breaker does not trip:
• DO NOT use generator.
• Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.
2. If handle moves to center, reset circuit breaker by
firmly moving handle to "Off" (down) position, then to
"On" (up) position.
CAUTION If circuit breaker does not reset properly:
• DO NOT use generator.
• Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.
