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 the 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.
Testing the GFCI
Test your GFCI outlet every month and before use, as
follows:
• Push the black “Test” button.The red “Reset” button
should pop out, which should allow no power to reach
the outlet. Use a test lamp in each outlet to test this.
• If the GFCI tests good, restore power by pressing the
“Reset” button firmly until it is fully in place and locks in
that position. If the GFCI outlet does not reset
properly, do not use the outlet. Call a local service
center.
• If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test the
outlet. If the reset button does pop out when the
test button is pressed, do not use the outlet. Call
a local service center.
Operation
• 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 any outlets on the circuit.
• Call a qualified electrician.
The “Reset” button does not pop out or the test lamp
remains lit when the “Reset” button is popped out.
