USING ThE GFCI OUTLET 12.
This charger includes two – GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets
located on its back. The purpose of a GFCI outlet is to quickly stop the
flow of electricity in the event a ground fault occurs on the device plugged
into the battery charger’s GFCI outlet. Ground fault circuit interrupters
(GFCI) can help prevent electrical shock or electrocution.
The GFCI outlets provide auxiliary power to 120V devices that require
less than 15 amps.
The GFCI must be tested before each use. To test:
Push the “Reset” button located on the GFCI receptacle, first to assure
12.1
normal GFCI operation.
Plug a night light (with an “ON/OFF” switch) or other product (such as a
12.2
lamp) into the GFCI receptacle and turn the product “ON.”
Push the “Test” button located on the GFCI receptacle. The night light or
12.3
other product should go “OFF.”
Push the “Reset” button, again. The light or other product should go “ON”
12.4
again.
NOTE: If the light or other product remains “ON” when the “Test” button
is pushed, the GFCI is not working properly and should not be used. Call
Customer Service at 1-800-SEARS-64 (1-800-732-7764).
The power cord must be plugged into a 3-prong grounded 120V AC wall
12.5
outlet for the GFCI operation to function. Ground fault circuit interrupters
(GFCI) can help prevent electrical shock or electrocution.
If you are charging a battery, the GFCI outlet should be limited to 3 amps
12.6
of current draw until the charging functions are complete.
The GFCI outlet should
12.7 not be used while the charger is in the ENGINE
START mode.
If using both GFCI outlets at the same time, the amperage cannot exceed
12.8
15 amps of both devices combined.
