GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) RECEPTA-
CLES
BU sing the generator in rain, snow or near water can
lead to death from electric shock. Keep the generator dry.
All of the 20 ampere 120 volt receptacles on the generator are
protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit interrupter (GFCI) for protection
against the hazards of ground fault currents. An example of ground-
fault current is the current which would flow through a person who is
using an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in
contact with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet
floor, or earth.
The ground-fault circuit interrupter will not protect against short
circuits or overloads. The circuit breaker in the control panel which
supplies power to the circuit provides that protection (refer to circuit
breaker on page 10).
The ground-fault circuit interrupter can be identified by the TEST and
RESET buttons. The receptacles on the GFCI can be tested with the
TEST and RESET buttons.
TEST BUll-ON:
To test, depress the TEST" button (see page
15).
RESET BUTTON:
To restore power, depress the "RESET" button
(see page 16).
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the GFCI
receptacle. If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the
weather, test the GFCI receptacle before each use. Record your test
on the GFCI test card provided on the control panel.
