Ground Fault Protection - Husqvarna 1365GN Operator's Manual

Ground Fault Protection

This duplex receptacles are equipped with Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. This device meets
applicable federal, state and local codes. The generator's
locking receptacle is not protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI).
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.
• Contact with the hot and neutral conductor at the same time
can cause electrical shock or burn, even if the circuit is GFCI
protected.
• Before using the GFCI receptacle, ALWAYS push the test button
to insure it works.

Testing the GFCI
Test your GFCI outlet prior to each use, as follows:
• Push the "Test" button. The "Reset" button should pop
out, which should allow no power to reach the outlet.
Use a test lamp in each outlet to test this.
• 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.
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 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.
