Connecting Electrical Loads; Parallel Operation; Stopping The Engine - Briggs & Stratton P2200 Manuel De L'opérateur

Connecting Electrical Loads

1. Make sure the green output indicator light comes
on (it may take up to three seconds).
2. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting.
3. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
NOTICE
• DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt
receptacle.
• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See
Don't Overload Generator.
NOTICE Exceeding generators wattage/amperage
capacity could damage generator and/or electrical
devices connected to it.
• DO NOT exceed the generator's wattage/amperage
capacity. See Don't Overload Generator in the Operation
section.
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads.
• Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for
operation.
• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator
before stopping generator.

Parallel Operation

Two Briggs & Stratton inverter generators can be run
in parallel with a Briggs & Stratton parallel operation
kit (optional equipment). When running in parallel, the
total output of power is shown in chart.

P2200 & P3000
P3000 & P3000
NOTICE Total electrical load connected to the
parallel kit must not exceed the maximum output.
See the parallel operation kits instruction sheet for
detailed instructions on installation and operation of the
connected generators.
NOTICE
• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from
both generators.
• The QPT 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.
• DO NOT disconnect power cables after engines
have been started.
• Shut down engines as described in Stopping the
Engine.

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop
engine with electrical devices plugged in and
turned ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes
to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and
generator.
3. Turn engine switch to the OFF (0) position.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which
could cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
• DO NOT stop engine by moving choke handle to CHOKE
( )
position .
QPT (QUIET POWER TECHNOLOGY ™)
This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel
economy. When this switch is turned ON, the
engine speed will increase as electrical loads are
connected, and decreased as electrical loads are
removed.
With the switch off, the engine will run at full
governed speed. Always have the switch OFF when
starting and stopping the engine.
NOTICE Always have the switch OFF when starting
or stopping the generator or when using the DC
receptacle.
