BSPP Generator
Ground Fault Protection
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI).This device meets applicable federal,
state and local codes.
The GFCI 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 GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but
the GFCI should cut current off quickly enough so that a
person in normal health should not suffer any serious
electrical injury.
Test GFCI Circuit Breaker
Test your GFCI circuit breaker (Figure 14) every month, as
follows:
1.
While generator is running, push white “Test” button.
The circuit breaker should trip (handle will move to
approximate center position), which will disconnect
power to outlets.
2.
If handle moves to center, reset circuit breaker by
firmly moving handle to “Off” (down) position, then to
“On” (up) position.
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.
2.
If circuit breaker tests correctly, the electrical equipment
or extension cords may be faulty. Replace faulty
electrical equipment and cords before further use.
• 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.
• 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.
Generator produces powerful voltage.
DANGER
• The GFCI 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.
Generator produces powerful voltage.
DANGER
• DO NOT use generator.
• Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.
If circuit breaker does not trip:
CAUTION
Figure 14 — GFCI Circuit Breaker
• DO NOT use generator.
• Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.
If circuit breaker does not reset properly:
CAUTION
• DO NOT use generator.
• Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.
If circuit breaker trips in the 1 minute period:
CAUTION
• Have qualified personnel check all electrical equipment and
cords for any defects.
• Replace electrical equipment and cords or take to a qualified
repair center.
If circuit breaker tests correctly:
CAUTION
