Ac Parallel Operation Applications - Honda EU3000is Owner's Manual

AC PARALLEL OPERATION APPLICATIONS

Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or
power cords can create a potential for electrical shock.
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or
stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance,
and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated
load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not
exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum power
rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum
may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
Never connect different generator models and types.
Use only a Honda approved parallel operation kit (optional
equipment) when connecting two EU3000is generators for parallel
operation.
Never connect or remove the parallel operation kit when the
generator is running.
For single generator operation, the parallel operation kit must be
removed.
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator
light (red) may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that
temporarily lights the overload indicator light (red) may shorten the
service life of the generator.
