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 GFCI.
The GFCI protects against electrical shock that may be
caused if your body becomes a path which electricity
travels to reach the ground.This could happen if you touch
a "Live" appliance or wire, or are touching plumbing or
other materials that connect to the ground.
WANNmNG
The GFCI will not protect you against the following situations:
-Line-to-line shocks;
-Current overloads or hne-to-[ine short circuits.
The fuse or circuit breaker
at the control panel must provide
such protection,
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.
T÷sting the GFCm
Test your GFCI outlet prior to each use, as follows:
Push the black °°Test" button.The red "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. [f the GFC[ oudet
does not reset properly, do
not use the outlet.
Call or take
your generator
to a
local service center.
CAUTmON
DO NOT use any outlets on the circuit.
Call or take your generator to a local service centen
If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test the
outlet. Jf the reset button does not pop out when
the test button is pressed, do not use the outlet.
Call or t_J<e your generator to a local service center.
GENERATOR ADAPTER
CORD
SET
The generator is equipped with a 25' generator adapter
cord set designed for a 240Volt, 20 Amp grounded neutral
circuit (Figure 7).The generator adapter cord set provides
a convenient supply of emergency power into your dwelling
so that your generator can be operated safely outside.
The maximum load on each outlet is 20Amps.The
maximum total load on both blue wire outlets or black
wire outlets is 20 Amps.
iMPORTANT: This generator's locking receptacle and the
provided adapter cord set are not protected by a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If used on an OSHA
governed job site, appropriate GFCI protection must be
utilized.
NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any
extension cord or device to the generator.
