Circuit Breakers
The AC receptacles are protected by an AC circuit
breaker. The DC receptacles are protected by a DC circuit
breaker. If the generator is overloaded or an external
short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. If this
occurs, disconnect all electrical loads to determine the
cause of the problem before using the generator again.
Reduce the load if the circuit breaker is tripped.
NOTE:
Continuous
tripping of the circuit breaker may cause
damage to generator or equipment.
Push the button of the breaker to reset the circuit
breaker.
