3.9
Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI)
See Graphic: wc_gr003960
Each of the 125V, 20 Amp receptacles
(f)
is equipped with a ground
fault circuit interrupt (GFI). The GFI shuts off power to the receptacle
when a ground fault occurs 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 the GFI:
3.9.1
Disconnect all equipment from the generator.
3.9.2
Start the generator.
3.9.3
Push the TEST button
(g)
on the receptacle in. Pushing the TEST
button in shuts off power to the receptacle and causes the RESET
button
(h)
to pop out. If the RESET button does not pop out, the GFI is
not working. Do not operate the generator until the problem can be
corrected.
3.9.4
Push the RESET button in to restore power to the receptacle.
If the RESET button pops out during operation, stop the generator and
check the equipment attached to the generator for defects.
3.10 Main Circuit Breaker
See Graphic: wc_gr003960
The generator is protected by a two-pole, 15-Amp per pole, main
circuit breaker
(d)
located on the control panel.
The main circuit breaker protects the generator from severe overloads
or short circuits. If the main circuit breaker opens, turn the engine off
immediately and determine the cause before restarting. Check the
appliances and tools attached to the generator for defects and make
sure their power requirements do not exceed the power rating of the
generator or the current limit of the receptacles.
