5. Push the yellow TEST button momentarily. The
RCD safety switch circuit breaker should instantly
flick downwards to the OFF position; this indicates
that the RCD safety switch is functioning correctly.

WARNING
If the RCD safety switch fails the TEST
function, either by the circuit breaker
not moving to the OFF position at all
or by doing so in a slow or delayed
manner, the generator should not be
used. Stop the generator as described
in Stopping the Generator on page 24
and take it to your nearest authorized
Westinghouse service dealer.
6. If the RCD safety switch passes the TEST
function, push the circuit breaker switch back
upwards to the ON position. Close the cover and
secure it in place by turning the locking screw
clockwise by hand. The generator is now ready for
use.
