OPERATION
2. Start the engines (see page 16 ) and make sure the output indicator (green) on each
generator comes on.
3. Plug in the appliance following the instruction provided with the parallel operation cable
kit.
4. Turn on the appliance.
If the generators are overloaded (see page 18 ), or if there is a short circuit in a connected
appliance, the overload indicator (red) will come on. If the overload indicator (red) stays on
continuously for more than 3 seconds, current to the connected appliance(s) will shut off,
and the output indicator (green) will go off.
Stop both engines and investigate the problem.
Determine if the cause is a short circuit in a connected appliance or an overload.
Correct the problem and restart the generator.
AC Parallel Operation Applications
Follow the instructions included with the parallel operation cable kit. Before
connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or power cord can create a
potential for electrical shock.
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn
it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the
appliance or the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Make sure that the combined electrical rating of the tools or appliances do not exceed that
of the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels
between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
Never use a generator connected to other companies generators.
Use only a
approved parallel operation kit (optional equipment) when connecting
two 3000i
generators for parallel operation.
Never connect or remove the parallel operation cable when the generator is running.
For single generator operation, the parallel operation cable must be removed.
