6. Connecting Electrical Loads
This portable generator has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full capacity. The voltage is
regulated using an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) . Readjusting the AVR will void warranty.
The duplex receptacle is equipped with GFCI protection. The GFCI protects against electric shock
that may be caused if you become a path which electricity travels to reach earth. Even with a GFCI
you may feel a shock, but the GFCI cuts power quickly so an average person should not suffer any
injury. Manual test GFCI while generator is running to verify internal contacts will function
Push the test button. The reset button will pop out, which should cut power to outlet.
Press the reset button until it locks in the depressed position. If the GFCI does not reset as
described do not use the receptacles. Call Firman customer service.
If GFCI trips while in use, reset and test the outlet. Electric cords laying on the ground with
worn insulation may trip the GFCI, only use cords in good condition.

SELF-TEST OPERATION
In addition to the manual test / reset feature the GFCI receptacle tests itself periodically to
confirm the GFCI electronics are functional. The indicator light will be solid green when the
GFCI is powered from the generator and working correctly.
Self-test indications
: If the indicator light is solid orange or flashing red a problem may exist.
Press the TEST button to trip the GFCI. If unable to reset, replace the GFCI.
WARNING! Generator voltage could cause electrical shock or burn
resulting in death or serious injury.
Damaged or overloaded extension cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting death or
serious injury.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as
metal decking.
Do not touch bare wires or receptacles.
