OPERATION
DO NOT use ECO MODE during parallel operation if
powering large surge loads such as an air conditioner or
electric pump. Engine rpm may not adjust quickly enough
to provide the voltage requirements of large surge loads,
causing damage to the devices or the generators.
1. On both generators, make sure the engine/fuel switch
and the ECO MODE switch are in the OFF position.
2. Connect two parallel cable leads to the parallel outlets
on the first generator, then connect the opposite cable
leads to the other generator's parallel outlets.
Note: If powering devices directly from the generators
(not connected to a building's transfer switch), you
do not need to match the left/right cables to the
generator's parallel outlets.
3. Start one of the generators and wait until the OUTPUT
READY LED illuminates.
4. Start the second generator and wait until the OUTPUT
READY LED illuminates before connecting a load.
5. Connect additional loads as described in Power
Management section.
6. Unplug all loads before stopping the generators.

NOTICE

TRANSPORTING

Weight hazard. Always have assistance when lifting the
generator.
• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes
before transporting.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control
panel.
• Only use the generator's fixed handle(s) to lift the unit
or attach any load restraints such as ropes or tie-down
straps. Do not attempt to lift or secure the generator by
holding onto any of its other components.
• Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the
possibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain the fuel
or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty before
transport.
• The generator wheels are only intended for hand
transport. The wheels are not suitable for towing the
generator either on or off-road.
• Use the extendable handle for one-person, hand
transport. To deploy the handle, push on the locking
button and pull on the handle until it's fully extended.
To stow it, push on the locking button and push on the
handle until it's fully retracted. Only extend or retract
the handle while the generator is OFF, stationary,
and resting on a horizontal surface. Do not use the
extendable handle to lift the generator entirely off the
ground, tow it, or up-end it.
Fire hazard. Do not fully up-end the
generator. Fuel or oil can leak and
damage to the generator may occur.
