Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI)

2.9

Circuit Breaker

The 120V, 20 Amp receptacle (a) is equipped with a ground fault circuit
interrupt (GFI). The GFI shuts off the power to the receptacle when a
ground fault occurs in the generator or to a piece of equipment
attached to the generator. This GFI also protects the second 120V,
20A receptacle (c).
The GFI should be tested for proper operation every time the generator
is used.
To test GFI:
Start generator. Push TEST button (d) on receptacle in. The RESET
button (e) will pop out. Power is now off at the receptacle. If the RESET
button does not pop out, the GFI is not working. Do not run generator
until the problem can be corrected. To restore power to receptacle,
push the RESET button in.
If the RESET button pops out during operation, stop the generator and
check it and equipment for defects.
The generator is also protected by a 20-Amp circuit breaker (b) located
on the control panel.
The circuit breaker protects the generator from severe overloads or
short circuits. If the circuit breaker opens, turn the engine off
immediately and determine the cause before restarting. Check the
appliances and tools attached to the generator for defects and make
sure their power requirements do not exceed the power rating of the
generator or the current limit of the receptacles.
When the circuit breaker opens, the breaker button will pop out. To
reset circuit breaker, push button in.
