1.1.12 ALWAYS store the equipment properly when it is not being used.
Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of
children.
1.1.13 ALWAYS position and operate the generator on a firm,
noncombustible, level surface.
1.1.14 ALWAYS transport the generator in an upright position.
1.1.15 ALWAYS keep the machine at least one meter (three feet) away from
structures, buildings, and other equipment during use.
1.1.16 ALWAYS keep the area immediately surrounding and underneath the
machine clean, neat, and free of debris and combustible materials.
Make sure that the area overhead is clear of debris that could fall onto
or into the machine or exhaust compartment.
1.1.17 ALWAYS remove all tools, cords, and other loose items from the
generator before starting it.
1.1.18 ALWAYS make certain the machine is well-grounded and securely
fastened to a good earthen ground per national and local regulations.

WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, read the
operator’s manual. Improper connection of the
generator to a building’s electrical system can
allow electrical current from the generator to
backfeed into utility lines. This may result in
electrocution of utility workers, fire or explo-
sion. Connections to a building’s electrical sys-
tem must be made by a qualified electrician
and comply with all applicable laws and electri-
cal codes.

6.12 Checking Main Circuit Breaker and Receptacle Circuitry
6.12.1 Remove the screws which secure the control panel to the frame and
remove the control panel from the frame.
6.12.2 Start the generator.
6.12.3 Check the incoming voltage to the main circuit breaker (a) by
measuring between each of the “Hot” terminals (b) (wires #102 and #5)
and ground. On GP 2500A models, measure between “Hot” terminals
(f) and ground. There should be 120V±10%.
• If 120V±10% is not measured, stop the generator and check the
continuity of wires #102 and #5. Repair or replace the wires as
needed.
• If 120V±10% is measured, continue.
6.12.4 Place the main circuit breaker in the ON position and check the
outgoing voltage from the main circuit breaker.
• If 120V±10% is not measured, stop the generator and replace the
main circuit breaker.
• If 120V±10% is measured, continue.
6.12.5 Check the continuity of the wiring to the receptacles (c, d, and e, or g
on GP 2500A models).
• If the wiring has no continuity, repair or replace it.
• If the wiring has continuity, the receptacle is faulty. Replace the
receptacle.

Next, check the main-winding-1 side. To do so, place the VSS in the
120V/240V position. With one lead of your multimeter, probe the blue
wire (e) of the plug. With the other lead, probe the generator terminal
strip (g) where the black-marked wire is usually connected. There
should be continuity.
• If the second sensing wire (circuit) has continuity in both posi-
