Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at
20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt
AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
Ground Fault Protection
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI). This device meets applicable federal, state and local
codes.
The GFCI protects against electrical shock that may be
caused if your body becomes a path which electricity
travels to reach ground. This could happen if you touch a
“Live” appliance or wire, or are touching plumbing or other
materials that connect to the ground.
When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but the
GFCI should cut current off quickly enough so that a person in
normal health should not suffer any serious electrical injury.
WARNING
Generator produces hazardous voltage/current.
The GFCI will not protect you against the following situations:
-Line-to-line shocks;
-Current overloads or line-to-line short circuits.
The fuse or circuit breaker at the control panel must provide
such protection.
Test GFCI Circuit Breaker
Test your GFCI circuit breaker every month, as follows:
1. Press “Reset” button. The green power LED should be
on.
2. While generator is running, press “Test” button. The
green LED should turn off, the red LED should start
blinking, and the circuit breaker should trip to “Off
position), which will disconnect power to outlets.
CAUTION
If sensing module LED’s do not change or circuit breaker
does not trip:
DO NOT use generator.
Call a Milwaukee Tool service center.
3. Press “Reset” button. The red LED should turn off and
the green LED should turn on.
4. Press circuit breaker to “On” position to restore circuit
power.
CAUTION
If circuit breaker does not reset properly:
DO NOT use generator.
Call a Milwaukee Tool service center.
During Generator Use
If circuit breaker trips during use, it usually indicates faulty
electrical equipment or cords. However, test the circuit
breaker as follows;
1. Disconnect loads, reset and test circuit breaker as
described earlier. Let generator run without any loads
for 1 minute.
CAUTION
If circuit breaker trips in the 1 minute period:
DO NOT use generator.
Call a Milwaukee Tool service center.
2. If circuit breaker tests correctly, the electrical
equipment or extension cords may be faulty. Replace
faulty electrical equipment and cords before further
use.
CAUTION
If circuit breaker tests correctly:
Have qualified personnel check all electrical equipment and
cords for any defects.
Replace electrical equipment and cords or take to a qualified
repair center.
WARNING
Generator produces hazardous voltage/current.
DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn,
frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
DO NOT operate generator in the rain or wet weather.
DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in
water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or
service generator or electrical loads.
