case, power is supplied by an optional AC
generator. An external power source is not
required. Plug an electrical tool into the
receptacle and try to operate the tool to verify
proper operation of the outlet.
The outlet may be equipped with a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI). Use the following
procedure to test the GFCI.
