3.11 Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI)
See Graphic: wc_gr002498
The two receptacles (f) are protected by a ground fault circuit interrupt
(GFI). The GFI shuts off the power to the receptacle when a ground
fault occurs in the generator or to a piece of equipment attached to the
generator.
The GFI should be tested for proper operation every time the generator
is used.
To test the GFI:
Start the generator. Turn the auto idle “OFF”. Push the TEST button
(h) on the receptacle in. The RESET button (g) will pop out. The power
is now off at the receptacles. If the RESET button does not pop out, the
GFI is not working. Do not run the generator until the problem can be
corrected. To restore power to the receptacles, push the RESET
button in.
If the RESET button pops out during operation, stop the generator and
check the generator and equipment for defects.
3.12 Twist-Lock Receptacles
See Graphic: wc_gr002498
Twist-lock receptacles (c, j) are used at the 120V 30A and 120/240V
30A outlets. These receptacles are not protected by the GFI.
To attach a power cord to a twist-lock receptacle, insert the plug into
the receptacle and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
