Twin Tech (Terminal for Connecting cables for parallel Operation) • This is the terminal for connecting TwinTech cables for parallel running of two EF2000iS. The parallel running requires two EF2000iSv2 and the TwinTech cables. (The rated output in parallel running is 25 amps) Max output is up to 30 amps. • The handling, operation procedure and the notes on usage are described in the PARALLEL RUNNING KIT OWNER’S MANUAL included in the Parallel Running Kit. ...

Tips to remember • Do not exceed the rated output of the generators – see the owner’s manual for rated output • The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at first when using electric devices that require a large starting current, such as an air conditioning unit or air compressor • The higher the elevation, the less oxygen in the atmosphere and can cause the generator to not run as efficiently. Re‐jet the carburetor if necessary. • Hidden/vampire loads – • There are numerous electronic devices and equipment in your RV that can drain the coach battery when you’re not using the RV. Some examples are; the TV antenna booster, the LP gas leak detector, clocks in radios, or just leaving a 12‐volt light on by accident. If your RV is not equipped with a battery disconnect switch you can purchase a battery disconnect, from an RV dealer, that can be installed directly on the battery post. When you aren’t using the RV or have no requirement for the coach battery you simply raise a lever and disconnect the battery. A battery disconnect can be installed on the chassis battery too. • Use a AMWatt meter to see what loads are being drawn even before connecting the generators to the RV...
