• Only connect this generator to another D8600i Generator or DLG8600i Companion Generator
• Only use brands approved parallel operation cable kit to connect generators.
• The parallel cable must be removed if operating only one generator.
• Never disconnect or remove the parallel operation cable while generator is still running.
WARNING!
Never connect generators that are different models.
AC Parallel Operation
The D8600i generator has two models that are compatible with each other (Standard and Companion). It is
possible to connect two D8600i generators to each other, using a parallel cable kit.

•
• Connect PARALLEL OPERATION CABLES to two D8600i generators according to the instructions provided with
the cable kit.
• Make sure the ECO switch is in the same position on both generators.
• All electronic devices should be turned “OFF” and disconnected from generators prior to starting generator engines.
Start generator engines. Make sure the green output indicator light comes on for each generator.
Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.
OPERATION
• A faulty appliance or power cord can create an electric shock. Do not use electronic devices that have a damaged cord
or plug.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stalls, turn off and disconnect appliance
immediately. The appliance may have a fault or its rated load capacity exceeds the power supply of the generator.
• To avoid damage to generator or electronic device, do not connect a load to the generator if its electrical rating exceeds
that of the receptacle.
Maximum Power in Parallel
Operation:14.7Kw Rated Power in Parallel
Only connect electronic devices to the generator that are in good working order and do not
exceed the rated power supply of the parallel generators or the desired receptacle.
Note: It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the
overloading the generator.
Note: Most electronic devices require power beyond its rated wattage to start. This additional power is referred to as surge
watts and usually lasts between 2-3 seconds. When an electronic device is started, the red overload indicator may come
on. This is normal. If the light stays on disconnect all electronic devices and stop the engine. Refer to “Engine Overload
Indicator Light” on page 9.
