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.
WARnInG: If THe ReSeT buTTOn dOeS nOT POP OuT, dO nOT uSe THe ReCePTACle(S). See
AuTHORIzed mi-T-m CuSTOmeR SeRVICe RePReSenTATIVe fOR SeRVICe ImmedIATely.
2. If the GFCI test correctly, restore power by FIRMLY pushing the “RESET” button back in until you hear or feel a
distinctive “click”. IF THE GFCI FAILS TO RESET PROPERLY, DO NOT USE EITHER OUTLET OF THE DUPLEX
RECEPTACLE. Have the unit serviced by an authorized Mi-T-M Customer Service Representative immediately.
3. High vibration or severe mechanical shock loads may cause the GFCIs to trip. IF EITHER GFCI TRIPS BY
ITSELF AT ANY TIME, reset it and perform test procedures and 2.

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.
