3.9 Main Circuit Breaker
The generator is protected by a main breaker (b) located on the
control panel. The circuit breaker protects the generator from severe
overloads or short circuits. If the circuit breaker opens, turn the engine
off immediately and determine the cause before restarting. Check the
appliances and tools attached to the generator for defects and make
sure their power requirements do not exceed the power rating of the
generator or the current limit of the receptacles.
When the circuit breaker opens (O), the breaker lever will snap down.
To reset circuit breaker, lift lever up (l).
3.10 Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI / GFCI)
The receptacles on this machine are protected by both a ground fault
interrupt (GFI) and thermal overloads. The GFI shuts off power to the
circuit when a ground fault occurs in the generator or a piece of
equipment attached to the generator. The thermal overload (g) will trip
(pop out) if too much current is drawn through the receptacles, as in a
short to ground. The GFI should be tested for proper operation every
time the generator is used.
To test GFI:
Start generator. Place main circuit breaker in closed position. Turn
auto idle “OFF” (O). Push TEST button (o1) on receptacle in. The
RESET button (o2) 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.
