First insert the connection plug on the parallel cable into the parallel output socket on the control
panel of each generator. Be sure to connect red with red (+) and black with black (-).
The positive pole (red) is connected to the positive pole (red), the negative pole (black) is connected
to the negative pole (black), and the ground wire is connected to the ground wire.
*NOTE: Make sure the electrical equipment in use is grounded and that the frames of each generator
are placed on a flat, clean and level surface.
Ensure that you start both generators (engines), the starting procedure is the same as the normal
starting procedure, refer in the operator's manual.
*NOTE: Make sure the parallel cable is plugged into the parallel output sockets on both control
panels before starting the generators.
Safely insert the plug of the electrical device into the socket on the generator control panel.
Either socket or both sockets may be used.
WARNING
9.6.1.
GP8000IS parallel cables are only suitable for parallel operation of 2 x GP8000IS generators.
Do not attempt to connect more than 2 generators.
9.6.2.
9.6.3.
GP8000IS generators can only use Gentech Power parallel output cables, do not use other
cables.
9.6.4.
When connecting the generator with parallel cables, safely insert the plug into parallel
sockets. Ensure that you connect red to red (+) and black to black (-).
9.6.5.
Be sure to plug the parallel cable into the socket.
9.6.6.
During parallel operation, do not disconnect the parallel output cable.
Connect the parallel output cable before starting the engine. Disconnect the parallel output

cable only after shutdown.
Do not output current after shutting down a generator while parallel cables are still

connected.
When operating a single generator, be sure to disconnect the parallel output cables.
9.6.9.
9.6.10.
Do not connect parallel cables when two generators are operating independently.
9.6.11.
Read GP8000IS instructions carefully before using the generator.
