4.10 Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI)

Operation

See Graphic: wc_gr000545

The two 120V, 20 Amp 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 GFI:

Start generator. Turn auto idle "OFF". Push TEST button (h) on receptacle in. The RESET button (g) will pop out. Power is now off at the receptacles. If the RESET button does not pop out, the GFI is not working. Do not run generator until the problem can be corrected. To restore power to receptacles, push the RESET button in.

If the RESET button pops out during operation, stop the generator and check generator and equipment for defects.

4.11 Twist Lock Receptacles

See Graphic: wc_gr000545

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.

4.12 Engine Switch

See Graphic: wc_gr000545

GS 5.6A only:

The engine switch (a) completes the circuit to the engine's ignition system. The switch must be set to "START" and then held down to crank the starter motor and start the engine. When the switch is released it returns back to the "ON" position and must be kept in this position while the engine is running.

To stop engine, set switch to "OFF". wc_tx000152gb.fm
