Before connecting 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.
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.
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.
If the generators are overloaded (see page ), 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.
Turn on the appliance.
Plug in the appliance following the instruction provided with the
parallel operation cable kit.
Start the engines (see page ) and make sure the output indicator
(green) on each generator comes on (see page ).
