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.
