Generator Shut Down
1. Shut off all loads and unplug electrical
loads from generator panel receptacles.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several min-
utes to stabilize internal temperatures of
engine and generator.
3. See Figure 3-2 . Rotate PowerDial to OFF
(3).

Low Oil Level Shutdown System
The engine is equipped with a low oil level
sensor to shut down the engine automatically
when the oil level drops below a specified
level. The engine will not run until the oil has
been filled to the proper level.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Verify proper engine oil
and fuel levels before use.
Parallel Operation
See the Parallel Kit Operator’s Manual or con-
tact an IASD.
NOTE: All connections to the parallel kit
should be made while both inverters are
turned off and all loads disconnected.
1. Make sure the Engine Economy Switch is
in the same position on both generators.
2. Make appropriate parallel connections to
the outlets on each Generac inverter as
outlined in the owner’s manual supplied
with the kit.
NOTE: Do not disconnect any parallel kit con-
nections once the units are running.
3. Start both units per starting instructions.
Once the green output indicator illumi-
nates, devices can be connected and
turned on using the parallel kit outlet.
4. Follow Generator Shut Down instructions.
NOTE: Only use Generac approved parallel
kit.
