RESETTING CIRCUIT BREAKERS
If a circuit breaker in the main power distribution
panel of the vehicle or on the genset (Figure 7) trips,
either a circuit shorted or too many appliances were
running. Note that the genset may continue to run
after a circuit breaker trips.
If a circuit breaker trips, disconnect or turn off as
many loads as possible and reset the circuit
breaker. (Push the circuit breaker to OFF to reset it
and then to ON to reconnect the circuit.) If the circuit
breaker trips right away, either the electrical dis-
tribution system has a short circuit or the circuit
breaker is faulty. Call a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker does not trip, reconnect the ap-
pliances, one by one, up to a total load that does not
overload the genset or cause the circuit breaker to
trip. If a circuit breaker trips right away when an ap-
pliance is connected, the appliance probably has a
short.
Electrical appliances and tools must be used and
maintained properly and be properly grounded to
cause the line circuit breakers to trip when short cir-
cuits occur.
WARNING Short circuits in electrical
appliances and tools can cause fire and electri-
cal shock leading to severe personal injury or
death. Read and follow the equipment and tool
manufacturer’s instructions and warnings
regarding use, maintenance and proper
grounding.
CONNECTING UTILITY POWER
A vehicle with provisions for connecting utility power
must have an approved device to keep the genset
and utility from being interconnected. See the gen-
set Installation Manual for more information.
WARNING Interconnecting the genset and the
public utility (or any other power source) can
lead to electrocution of utility line workers,
equipment damage and fire. Use an approved
switching device to prevent interconnections.
LINE CIRCUIT
Straight from the manual.
There appears to be two reset switches next to each other on the genny.
