connected appliances from the protected outlets, unplug all cord-connected appliances from the
protected outlets and restore power by pressing the red RESET button on the receptacle. Push the
RESET back in and reconnect the appliances one at a time. Any defective appliance will trip the
button and should be repaired at once.
If the appliances are all disconnected, and the RESET button will not stay in, cal a qualified
electrician. If the RESET button does not pop out when the blue TEST button is pressed,
PROTECTION IS LOST. Do not use any of the outlets and call a qualified electrician
immediately.
IMPORTANT: Your Ground Fault Interrupter Circuit should be tested regularly.
Use the following steps:
1. Push the blue TEST button. The red RESET button should pop out. Power
is now out at that outlet indicating that the circuit is operating properly.
2. If the button does not pop out when testing, do not use that outlet.
Protection is lost and a qualified electrician should be called.
3. To restore power, push the RESET button.
PREVENT ATIVE MAINTENANCE:
This consists of periodic inspection and protection against any damage created by the elements.
Electrical systems are adversely affected by moisture and a salt-air environment.
The system can be protected by the application of aerosol sprays such as WD-40 or CRe. All
wire harnesses and connections should be checked periodically to ensure that fastenings are
secured and that everything is clean with no sign of damage or corrosion. It is extremely
important that all connections be kept clean.
WARNING:
Do not perform any maintenance or repair on a live circuit. Do not turn the
main DC switch off while the engine is running. This could cause damage to the
alternator.
