GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER RECEPTACLE
This generator has a 120-volt ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle.
The GFCI receptacle is on the control panel. The GFCI protects you against
hazardous electrical shock caused when your body becomes a path through which
electricity travels to reach ground. This could happen when you touch an appli-
ance or cord that is ‘live’ through faulty mechanism, damp or worn insulation, etc.
When protected by the GFCI, you may still feel a shock, but the GFCI should cut
it off quickly. A person in normal health should not receive serious injury.
Note:
Infants and very small children may still be affected.
Test Procedure
Check the GFCI receptacle every month. This insures it is working right.
1. Push black TEST button. Red RESET button should pop out. This should trip GFCI,
resulting in no electrical power at receptacle. Verify this by plugging test lamp
with good bulb into receptacle. If lamp does not work, GFCI receptacle is good.

WARNING
If RESET button does not pop out, do not use the GFCI
receptacle. Contact a qualified electrician for repairs.
2. If the GFCI receptacle tests okay, restore power by pushing the RESET button
back in. The test lamp should work at this time. IMPORTANT: You must
press the RESET button firmly and fully. It should lock into place. If the GFCI
does not lock into place, do not use receptacle. Contact a qualified electrician
for repairs.
