OPERATION
AC PARALLEL OPERATION
Before connecting an appliance to either generator, make sure that the
appliance is in good working order and that its electrical rating does not
exceed that of the receptacle.
Most motorized appliances require more than their electrical rating for
startup. When an electric motor is started, the overload indicator (red)
may come ON. This is normal if the overload indicator (red) goes OFF
within 4 seconds. If the overload indicator (red) stays ON, consult your
generator dealer.
During parallel operation, the Eco-Throttle switch should be in the same
position on both generators.
1.Connect the parallel operation cable between the EU2000i to either
an EU2000i Companion or another EU2000i generator following the
instructions supplied with the cable kit.
2.Start the engines (see page 23) and make sure the output indicator
(green) on each generator comes ON (see page 28).
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 33), or if there is a short
circuit in a connected appliance, the overload indicator (red) will go ON.
The overload indicator (red) will stay ON, and after about four 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.
