AC PARALLEL OPERATION
TIP:
• Follow instructions in the owners manual for the battery to determine
the end of battery charging.
• Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte to determine if the battery is
fully charged. At full charge, the electrolyte specific gravity is between
1.26 and 1.28.
• It is advisable to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte at least
once every hour to prevent overcharging the battery.
Before connection an appliance to either generator, make sure that it is in
good working order and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of
the receptacle.
During parallel operation, the ESC switch should be in the same position
on both generators.
1. Connect the parallel operation cable between the generator to either
the main generator or companion generator following the instructions
supplied with the cable kit.
2. Start the engines and make sure the output indicator (green) on each
generator comes on.
3. Plug an appliance into the AC receptacle.
4. Turn on the appliance.
WARNING
• Never smoke or use broken connectors on the battery while charging.
Sparks may ignite the battery gas.
• Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous, causing severe
burns, etc. contains sulfuric (sulphuric) acid. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes or clothing.
• Antidote:
EXTERNAL
: Flush with water.
INTERNAL
: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of
magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil . Call physician immediately.
EYES:
Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention.
• Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes,
etc., away. Ventilate when charging or using in closed space. Always
wear eye protection when working near batteries.
• Keep out of reach of children.
AC PARALLEL OPERATION APPLICATIONS
TIP:
• 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 appliance
does not exceed that of the generator.
• Never connect different generator models.
• Don’t remove the parallel operation cable when the generator operation.
• For single generator operation, the parallel operation cable must be
removed.
WARNING
• Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator
(red) may damage the generator Marginal overloading that temporarily
light the overload indicator (red) may shorten the service life of the
generator.
• For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
• Rated power in parallel operation is: 6KW.
