Extend-A-Panel - Troy-Bilt Portable generator Operator's Manual

Extend-a-panel™

A double pole rocker switch circuit breaker on the main panel
is provided to protect the cordset off main panel. If this
circuit breaker is tripped, all power from cordset is
disconnected.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacles
The Extend-a-panel™ has two 120 Volt, 20 Amp GFCI duplex
receptacles. Each receptacle is protected against overload by
push-to-reset circuit breakers.
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.
Ground Fault Protection
The 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 voltage could cause electrical
shock or burn resulting in death or serious
injury.
• 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.
• 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.

The Extend-a-panel™ can be connected to the generator
directly or with the provided 20 Amp, 25 ft. (7.6 m) accessory
