Ground Fault Protection
This unit is equipped with a residual current circuit breaker with overload
protection device (RCBO). This device meets applicable federal, state and
local codes.
The RCBO protects against electrical shock that may be caused if your body
becomes a path which electricity travels to reach ground. This could happen
if you touch a “Live” appliance or wire, or are touching plumbing or other
materials that connect to the ground.
When protected by a RCBO, one may still feel a shock, but the RCBO should
cut current off quickly enough so that a person in normal health should not
suffer any serious electrical injury.
Test RCBO
Test your RCBO every month, as follows:
1. While generator is running, push Test (T) button. The circuit breaker
should trip (handle will move to approximate center position), which will
disconnect power to outlets.
NOTICE
If circuit breaker does not trip:
• DO NOT use generator.
• Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.
2. If handle moves to center, reset circuit breaker by firmly moving handle
to Off or 0 (down) position, then to On or I (up) position.
NOTICE
If circuit breaker does not reset properly:
• DO NOT use generator.
• Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.
During Generator Use
If circuit breaker trips during use, it usually indicates faulty electrical equipment
or cords. However, test the circuit breaker as follows;
1. Disconnect loads, reset and test circuit breaker as described earlier. Let
generator run without any loads for 1 minute.
NOTICE
If circuit breaker trips in the 1 minute period:
• DO NOT use generator.
• Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.
2. If circuit breaker tests correctly, the electrical equipment or extension
cords may be faulty. Replace faulty electrical equipment and cords
before further use.
NOTICE
If circuit breaker tests correctly:
• Have qualified personnel check all electrical equipment and cords for any
defects.
• Replace electrical equipment and cords or take to a qualified repair center.
Battery Charger (030620 Only)
Figure
4
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting battery charged and ready
for use. Battery charging should be done in a dry location, such as inside a
garage.
1. Plug charger into unit’s battery float charger jack (
4, E
), which is located
on the control panel. Plug battery charger into a 230 Volt AC wall
receptacle.
2. Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when generator is being
started and while it is in operation.
3. Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in use to prolong
battery life. The charger has a built in float equalizer and will not
overcharge the battery, even when plugged in for an extended period of
time.
NOTICE
See
Battery Maintenance for additional information.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard could result in death or serious
injury.
• The RCBO will not protect you against the following situations:
-Line-to-line shocks;
-Current overloads or line-to-line short circuits.
• The fuse or circuit breaker at the control panel must provide such
protection.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard could result in death or serious
injury.
• DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
• DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare
or otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT operate generator in the rain or wet weather.
• DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water,
while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service
generator or electrical loads.
