CONTROL PANEL/
RECEPTACLES
This unit is equipped wit the following receptacles and
controls:
120 Volt AC, 15 Amp, GFCI
Receptacle
Each receptacle (Figure 10) is protected against
overload by a 15 Amp pushtoreset circuit breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC,
singlephase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to
1,800 watts (1.8 kW) at 15 Amps of current. Use cord
sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps
(or greater).
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 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.
DANGER: The GFCI will not protect you
against the following situations: (1) Line-to-line
shocks; (2) Current overloads or line-to-line
short circuits. The fuse or circuit breaker at the
distribution panel must provide such protection.
Testing the GFCI
Test your GFCI outlet every month, 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.
DANGER: If the Reset button does not pop
out or the test lamp remains lit when the
Reset button is popped out, do not use any
outlets on the circuit. Call a qualified electrician.
 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
qualified electrician.
 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 qualified electrician.
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L1430 plug with this receptacle.
Connect a 4wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads
at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 11). You can use the
same 4wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
