Parallel Operation

Two Briggs & Stratton P3000 inverter generators can be run
in parallel with a Briggs & Stratton parallel operation kit
(optional equipment) for a total output of power of up to
4,800 watts (4.8 kW).
NOTICE Total electrical load connected to the parallel kit
must not exceed 4,800 watts (4.8 kW).
See the parallel operation kits instruction sheet for detailed
instructions on installation and operation of the connected
generators.

• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from both
generators.
• The POWERSMART switch must be in the same
position on both generators.
• Connect the power cables to both generators before
starting the engines. See instruction sheet supplied
with parallel kit.
• Start engine on one of the inverter generators
according to Starting the Engine in the Operation
section.
• Once the green LED output indicator light on the first
generators is steady, start second generator.
• Connect and turn on electrical loads to the parallel
panel receptacles.
