4.10 Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI)
See Graphic: wc_gr000545
The two 120V, 20 Amp receptacles
(f)
are protected by a ground fault
circuit interrupt (GFI). The GFI shuts off the power to the receptacle
when a ground fault occurs in the generator or to a piece of equipment
attached to the generator.
The GFI should be tested for proper operation every time the generator
is used.
To test GFI:
Start generator. Turn auto idle "OFF". Push TEST button
(h)
on
receptacle in. The RESET button
(g)
will pop out. Power is now off at
the receptacles. If the RESET button does not pop out, the GFI is not
working. Do not run generator until the problem can be corrected. To
restore power to receptacles, push the RESET button in.
If the RESET button pops out during operation, stop the generator and
check generator and equipment for defects.

To attach a power cord to a twist-lock receptacle, insert the plug into
the receptacle and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
