blockage if found.
5. Calculate the power draw of all devices, including the peak
wattage, to make sure you are not exceeding the generator's
power capacity.
Consult the appliance's information plate or manual for both
the starting and running wattage. If no starting wattage is
listed, assume the tool uses double the running wattage
when starting up.
6. Restart the engine and follow the steps for running the
generator.
7. Plug each appliance into a separate power outlet to spread the
electrical load across different power circuits.
8. Attach appliances, one at a time starting with the appliance with

needed for the electric load. This improves fuel economy and
reduced engine noise.
2. When the ECO switch is in the OFF position, the engine will run at
the maximum rated speed (see Specifications).
3. The ECO switch must be turned to the OFF position when using
electronic devices that require a large starting current, such as a
compressor.
AC PARALLEL OPERATION
WARNING! Do not connect or disconnect the parallel cables
when the generators are running to avoid an electric shock.
The parallel outlets allow you to connect two inverter generators
together to increase the power output. This requires a parallel cable
kit (sold separately).
Both generators must be the same make and model.
1. Connect the two generators together with the parallel cables,
matching the parallel port polarity.
2. Make sure the ECO switch is set to the same position on both
generators.
3. Disconnect all electronic devices from the generators prior to
starting them.
4. Start each generator’s engine.
5. Wait for each engine to stabilize before plugging in the first
electronic device into the AC receptacle (starting with the largest
wattage item). Turn the device on and wait for the output to
stabilize.
Many electric devices draw more power in the first couple
of seconds when starting, than is required during normal
operation.
6. Continue to connect additional devices and wait for the engine to
stabilize each time.
