Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
Your boat is equipped with two Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI) receptacles.
One is located on the front of the vanity cabinet in the
head and the other is located in the starboard storage
pocket of the prep station.
The GFI receptacle is designed to protect people from
the line-to-ground shock hazards which could occur
from defective tools or appliances operating from the
receptacle, or from down-line outlets protected by it.
The GFI will not prevent line-to-ground electric
shock, but does limit the time of exposure to a period
considered safe for normal healthy persons. The
receptacle will not protect people against line-to-line
or line-to-neutral faults, short circuits or overloads
Please read and understand the WARNING block
regarding GFI receptacles.
test
Persons with heart problems or other conditions
which may make them susceptible to electric
shock may still be injured by ground faults on
circuits protected by the GFI receptacle. No
safety devices yet designed will protect against
all hazards or carelessly handled or misused
electrical equipment or wiring.
!
WARNING
The GFI outlet has a TEST and RESET button that
you can use to regularly test the outlet for proper
operation. Before testing the outlet, push the RESET
button in. Plug an appliance into the outlet (such as
a lamp) and turn it on. Push the TEST button, the
appliance should shut OFF. If it does, the circuit
was interrupted and it is working properly. Push the
RESET button to return the power to the outlet. If
the power to the appliance was not interrupted, have
a qualified marine electrician check the system to
find the problem.
