Ac Parallel - Sportsman GEN4000IOF Instruction Manual

AC PARALLEL TERMINALS
The parallel port terminals are used with a parallel kit (sold separately). It will allow two generators to be linked to
increase output. The black and white wire connections are non-polarized and can be inserted into either the left or
right ports.
NOTE: Do not disconnect cables while the generator is running. The generator or the load may be damaged.
NOTE: Only connect two identical Inverter Generators together using a Parallel Kit.
Do not pair more than 2 generators.
Only use the BUFFALO parallel output cable for parallel operation (sold separately).
You can use the outlets on the control panel of the generator while operating in parallel. Do not exceed combined
load on all outlets 26 amps running or 33 amps surge.
If parallel cables are not properly connected to the generators, either or both generators can be damaged and
could explode.
DO NOT connect or disconnect the parallel connection cable from the control panel while the generators are
running. Turn off both generators before disconnecting parallel cables.
Before connecting an appliance to a generator, make sure that the appliance is in good working order and that its
electrical rating does not exceed that of the outlet. Most appliances require more than their electrical rating for
startup.
1. Have both generators ready to operate.
2. Plug in BOTH parallel cables FIRST. If you attach black wire on left A and white wire on right B, duplicate the
same position on the opposite generator.
3. Attach both ground connections on both control panels.
4. Power up each generator, with the Economy Switch in off position.
5. After running a few minutes, plug in appliances into RV cable or outlet on control panel. Make sure appliances are
off.
6. Gradually turn on each appliance after making sure both generators are in normal running (the output indicator
LED (green) flashes.
Note:
The required power of the electrical appliance connected to the parallel outlet cannot exceed the rated output
of paralleled generators. See specifications page in owner's manual.
Turning Off Generators while in Parallel Function
1. Disconnect or turn off item plugged into parallel receptacle.
2. Turn off both generators.
3. Carefully disconnect the parallel cables from both generators
