Parts and Instruction Manual - TRS17 Total Recovery System
GFCI
GFCI:
WARNING: Do not tamper with or disable the GFCI function.
WARNING: Do not remove the grounding pin from your power cord. Doing so will
prevent the GFCI from performing properly and can allow dangerous operating
conditions to go undetected. Replace power cords without grounding pins
immediately.
GFCI FUNCTION:
For your safety, your TRS-17 is equipped with a built in GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
The GFCI function is automatic and, under normal operating conditions, the GFCI function will not
be activated.
A GFCI works by monitoring the amount of current that is flowing from hot to neutral. If the GFCI
senses an imbalance in that flow, such as a ground leak, it will disable (interrupt) the electrical system
to eliminate dangerous operating conditions. When the electrical system has been disabled, you will
not be able to run the TRS-17, at all, until you reset the GFCI.
Before resetting, It is best practice to investigate the cause of a GFCI tripping the circuit.
Possible causes and solutions are:
tYour equipment has become wet and moisture has come in contact with the electrical system. Take
unit to an authorized repair location for servicing.
tYour machine is submerged in liquid. If it is safe to do so, remove the equipment and take unit to
an authorized repair location for servicing.
tThere is damage to the power cord. Replace the power cord immediately with the correct spec cord.
tThe wall plug or cord plug may be wet or in contact with water. Using thick rubber gloves, unplug
the cord from the wall.
tA leak in your machine’s plumbing may be wetting the internal electrical components. Take the
unit to an authorized repair location for servicing.
tThere is a loose or faulty electrical connection some- where in your equipment. Take the unit to an
authorized repair location for servicing.
Page 8
Parts and Instruction Manual - TRS17 Total Recovery System
To restore function to your equipment when the GFCI has tripped the circuit, press the button on the
GFCI marked “RESET”.
If a GFCI continues to trip after resetting, it indicates an unsafe operating condition is present and it is
best to take it to an authorized repair location for servicing. Contact MINUTEMAN for assistance in
locating an authorized repair location.
GFCI MAINTENANCE:
Although the GFCI function works on its own, it is necessary to test for proper function of your GFCI
periodically.
To do this:
1. Plug your equipment to an appropriate wall plug
2. Press the “TEST” button on the GFCI panel
3. Turn on the switches for “PUMP” and “MOTOR” (located on the switch panel on the handle).
If your motors turn on, then the GFCI is NOT working properly- do not use the equipment until this
function has been repaired. Take the machine to an authorized repair location.
If neither motor powers on after pressing the “TEST” button then the GFCI is working properly.
Press the “RESET” button on the GFCI and the TRS-17 will be fully functional again.
