This POWERLINK system includes the engine, an inverter,
and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI is a
receptacle which protects against electrical shocks. A GFCI
detects ground faults.
If a ground fault is detected, the GFCI will interrupt the circuit
when it detects a difference in electric current. One type of
ground fault occurs when electricity flows through a person to
an earth ground instead of following the normal safe path.
Please be aware that the GFCI is not fail proof. Most brands are
susceptible to failures from power surges such as nearby
lightening strikes. For this reason and for your protection,
Briggs & Stratton makes the recommendation that the GFCI
gets tested before every use of the POWERLINK system. If
found to be defective, it must be replaced by an Authorized
Service Dealer before further use.
Also, please note that the GFCI does not protect from serious
electrical shocks resulting from contact between the system
neutral (white wire) and the “hot lead” (black wire). See listed
warnings within this document for further clarification on
hazards and how to avoid them.
