Clearing an Overload Condition (Parallel Operation)
An overload condition occurs if the power demand of your appliance exceeds the combined maximum power output
(4400W) of both generators operating in parallel, or by a short in a connected appliance
To reset after an overload:
When overloaded, the LCD on the parallel kit is no longer illuminated due to lack of power output from the
generators. You need to correct the cause of the overload and reset the generators before applying a load again.
1. Turn o any appliance connected to the parallel kit or the generators.

generators come with InverterProtec

technology. When an overload occurs, power to the
inverter is turned off but the engine can continue to run to enable quicker resets.
◊ If you prefer, you can shut down the generator before resetting the overload condition.
2. Identify and correct the cause of the overload. Follow the steps for Clearing an Overload Condition.
3. On each generator, press and hold the green Overload Reset Button for 3 seconds until power output values reset to zero on the
LCD.
The LCDs on both generators and the parallel kit illuminate and display voltage when the parallel kit is ready for
use. If the LCDs do not illuminate, shutdown and restart the generators.
4. Turn appliance(s) back on.

◊ The load requirement of the electrical appliance cannot exceed the combined continual output of the paralleled
generators. For overloads, see Identifying Trouble During Parallel Operation.
◊ Both 20A and 30A receptacles on the parallel kit can provide power simultaneously as long as the individual rated
circuits are not exceeded. If you exceed the rating of the 20A or 30A circuit, the breakers will trip, requiring a reset
of the corresponding circuit breaker.
