INTRODUCTION
The Inverter Generator Parallel Cable Kit allows you to combine the power output of two generators to run devices that exceed the capacity of one generator alone. Consult the manual for Pro.Point 2,300/4,500W Inverter Generators
(8953150, 8953168, 8953176) for safety and operation instructions for the generator before using this parallel cable kit.

SAFETY
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions before using this tool. The operator must follow basic precautions to reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Keep this manual for safety warnings, precautions, operating or inspection and maintenance instructions.

WORK AREA

1. Operate in a safe work environment. Keep your work area clean, well-lit and free of distractions. Place lights so you are not working in a shadow.
2. Keep anyone not wearing the appropriate safety equipment away from the work area.
3. Store unused tools properly in a safe and dry location to prevent rust or damage. Lock tools away and keep out of the reach of children.
4. Do not install or use in the presence of flammable gases, dust or liquids.

PERSONAL SAFETY
WARNING: Wear personal protective equipment approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

1. Wear gloves that provide protection based on the work materials or to reduce the effects of tool vibration.
2. Wear protective clothing designed for the work environment and tool.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid personal injury or damage to tool.

1. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.

SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.

1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an unintended purpose.
2. Do not use the tool if any parts are damage broken or misplaced. Repair or replace the parts.
3. Only use the parallel cables with two identical inverter generators. Mismatched generators can cause a low voltage output issue and damage either generator or any electrical devices connected to the generators.

UNPACKING
WARNING: Do not operate the tool if any part is missing. Replace the missing part before operating. Failure to do so could result in a malfunction and personal injury.
Remove the parts and accessories from the packaging and inspect for damage. Make sure that all items in the contents are included.

Contents:

• Parallel Cable Box
• Parallel Cables

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

Dashed numbers in parenthesis (Fig. 1-1) refer to a specific point in an illustration or image.

1. The control box has two sets of parallel cables. Connect one set to the control panel parallel ports on the first generator (Fig. 1-1). Make sure the cables match the correct polarity.
2. Connect the second set of parallel cables to the same parallel ports on the other invertor generator.
3. Attach a ground wire (Fig. 1-3) to the ground bolt (Fig. 1-2) on the first generator. Attach a separate ground wire to the other generator in the same way. Consult the generator manual for grounding instructions.

OPERATION

NOTICE: Avoid overloading the generators (30/50A). An overload that only slightly exceeds the 30/50A rating may fail to trip the overload circuit. This can shorten the life of the generator and parallel cable box.
IMPORTANT:  Only use one parallel box outlet at a time. Using both can cause an overload.
Consult the generator manual for instructions on preparing and starting the generators when connected to the parallel cable box.

1. Make sure the green power lights (Fig. 2-1) on both generators are green before connecting any devices. Restart both generators if one, or both, power lights are not lit.

2. High electrical loads may overload the generators. Make sure the Eco button is OFF to allow maximum power.

3. The AC output will switch off if power output exceeds 30A on the TT-30 side and 50A on the 14-50R side.

4. Plug a power plug into the NEMA 14-50R or the NEMA TT-30R power outlet,
   but not both.

   • The NEMA 14-50R Receptacle is rated for 120/240V, max. 50 amps. Powers electrical items having a 4-prong NEMA 14-50R plug.
   • The NEMA TT-30R RV Receptacle is rated for 120V, max. 30 Amps. Connect an RV power cable with a 3-prong TT-30P RV plug.

5. You will not be able to use the outlet on the generator while the parallel box is in use.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient, easier to control and will have fewer problems.
2. Inspect the tool components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or worn components. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.
3. Maintain the tool’s labels and name plates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for replacements.
