OPERATION
NOTE: Make sure both units have been shut down and
there are no devices connected to the outlet receptacles.
NOTICE
Arrange the generators in a "V" shape
to allow the heat from the exhaust to safely escape.
The exhaust heat from one unit may discolor or melt
the plastic case of the other unit if positioned too close-
ly together.
To install the parallel cable:
l Insert the cable end into one of the parallel ports on the
first unit. Insert the other end of the same cable into the
corresponding port on the second unit.
l Repeat steps with the other cable.
NOTE: It is important to connect both ends of the cable to
the same ports on both generators. Make sure the same
cable ends are connected to the same port on each gener-
ator before starting the generators.
Start one generator at a time. Wait for the first unit to run
at a stable idle before starting the second unit. Connect
one device at a time and allow the unit to stabilize before
connecting the next device.
