GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER
Kitchen, bathroom and patio 120V electrical outlets are
protected by a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI). This device
is provided in compliance with ANSI A119.2/NFPA 501C
requirements, and is intended to protect against hazards
of line to ground electric faults and electrical leakage
shocks possible when using electrical appliances in the
bathroom or damp areas.
1.Insulation materials for appliances and devices can
deteriorate over time or develop cracks allowing
electric current to “leak” through insulation.
2.Should a circuit or appliance (electric shaver, hair
dryer, etc.) develop shock hazard of this type, the GFI
device will disconnect the outlet (and other outlets on
the same circuit), limiting exposure to current leakage
to ground.
3.The GFI device does not prevent electric shock,
nor does it protect a person who touches both “hot”
and neutral sides of the circuit. It does not protect
against electrical circuit overloads.
Test the GFI at least once a month while operating on 120
volts AC. To test the GFI:
1.Push the “TEST” button. The “RESET” button should
pop out, indicating that the protected circuit has been
disconnected.
2.IF THE “RESET” BUTTON DOES NOT POP
OUT WHEN THE “TEST” BUTTON IS PUSHED,
A LOSS OF GROUND FAULT PROTECTION IS
INDICATED. DO NOT USE THE OUTLET OR
OTHER OUTLETS ON THE SAME CIRCUIT.
3.HAVE THE TRAILER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHECKED AT AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER OR BYA QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
4.DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE
PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
5.To restore power, push the “RESET” button.
