gFCi tESt rECOrDS:
as with any other safety devices, the gFCis supplied with
these generators must be checked every month to insure
that they are functioning properly. to test the gFCis,
follow the instructions and then enter the date of the test
below.
. With the generator running and the idle control switch
in the "Start" position, push the "tESt" button. the
"rESEt" button should pop out. this should result
in the power being off at both outlets of the duplex
receptacle. verify this by plugging a test lamp into each
outlet.

POP OUT, DO NOT USE THE RECEPTACLE(S).

NotE: Situations exist where a GFCI will not afford any protection against the hazards of electrical shock.
ExamplE: if a person touches two or more conductors from a damaged cord set and is not in direct contact
with the ground, he or she may receive a shock. Since there is no path to ground for a ground fault current to
flow through, the GFCI will not operate and serious injury may result.
The GFCI are merely an added safety feature. There are no substitutes for good safety precautions, correct
electrical practices and proper maintenance of cords, equipment and connections.
