Set Up And Operation(Applicable To All Models)
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
This kit is intended for use on A-ipower lnverter
Generators.
Please refer to your Inverter Owner's Manual forsafety
rules, start up and shut down procedures,specifica-
tions and troubleshooting.
5. Turn on both inverters. See inverter owner’s manual
for starting instruction.
lf not spaced apart, the exhaust heat from one unit
may discolor or melt the plastic on the other unit.
2. Inverters to be TURNED OFF and all electrical loads
DlSCONNECTED before installing parallel kit.
NOTE: Do not connect or disconnect the parallel kit
while the inverters are running.
3. The low idle switch(button) must be in the same
position (ON or OFF) on both generators.
4. On each inverter:
4.1 Remove the parallel outlet covers. Plug the black
and red parallel cable terminals to the black and red
parallel outlet (black to black and red to red) on
each corresponding inverters control panel. Do not
plug two red cables or two black cables into the
same inverter.
4.2 Loosen nuts on grounding terminals and attach
round wire to ground terminal in each inverter.
Tighten securely.
3
1. Align the two inverters on a firm, flat and level
surface at a minimum 20 inch apart.
WARNING
If not spaced apart, the exhaust heat
from one generator discolors or melt
the plastic shell on other generator.
20”
5b. Recoil start
Pull recoil starter slowly until resistance is felt,
then pull rapidly.
5a. Electric start
Turn and hold the ENGINE START/STOP
switch for 5 seconds until the engine start.
Parallel Cable
Terminals
Parallel
Outlets
Grouding Wire

NOTE: Make sure the indicator light of overload reset
button(or output indicator) is green on each inverter.
6. The low idle switch(button) must be in the same
position (ON or OFF) on both generators before
applying any load.
7. Plug in the 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60Hz electrical
loads into parallel kit receptacles and turn on first
load. Allow generator output to stabilize before
plugging in the next load.
NOTE : It is strongly recommended to plug in devices
with the largest output first and the smallest output
last to help prevent overloading the inverters. Do not
exceed maximum wattage rating of inverters, parallel
kit and receptacles.
8.When finished, turn off the inverter generators
per owner’s manual instructions and then disconnect
the parallel kit.

Configuración Y Funcionamiento
(Para Todos Los Modelos)
MONTAJE Y FUNCIONAMIENTO
El kit es adecuado para generadores de inversores de
potencia A-ipower.
Consulte el Manual del usuario del inversor para las
reglas de Seguridad, procedimientos de inicio y
cierre, especificaciones y solución de problemas.
5. Encienda los dos inversores. Consulte el Manual del
usuario del convertidor para las instrucciones de
arranque.

1. Alinear los dos inversores en una superficie
firme, plana y horizontal con una distancia
mínima de 20 pulgadas.
ADVERTENCIA
Si no hay separación, el calor residual
de un generador puede cambiar de color
o derretir la carcasa de plástico de otro
generador.
20”
5b. Arranque manual de retroceso
Tire lentamente del arranque de retroceso hasta
que se sienta la resistencia y luego tire rápidamente.
5a. Arranque eléctrico
Gire y mantenga el interruptor de arranque / parada
del motor durante 5 segundos hasta que el motor
arranque.
Terminal de
cable paralelo
Socket paralelo
Cable de tierra
Si no hay separación, el calor residual de un disposi-
tivo puede decolorar o derretir el plástico de otro.
2. Antes de instalar el kit paralelo, apague el inversor
y conecte todas las cargas eléctricas.
NOTA: No conecte ni desconecte el kit paralelo
mientras el inversor está funcionando.
3. El interruptor de ralentí bajo (botón) en ambos
generadores debe estar en la misma posición
(ON or OFF).
4. En cada inversor:
4.1 Retire la tapa de salida paralela. Inserte los
terminales de cable paralelo negro y rojo en las
salidas paralelas negras y Rojas (negro a negro,
rojo a rojo) en cada panel de control del inversor
correspondiente. No inserte dos cables rojos o dos
cables negros en el mismo inversor.
4.2 afloje las tuercas de los terminales de puesta a
tierra y conecte los cables circulares a los
terminales de puesta a tierra de cada inversor.
Apriete firmemente.

NOTA: Asegúrese de que la luz indicadora del botón de
reposo de sobrecarga (o indicador de salida) en cada
inversor es verde.
6. El interruptor de ralentí bajo (botón) en ambos
generadores debe estar en la misma posición
(ON or OFF) antes de aplicar cualquier carga.
7. Inserte una carga eléctrica monofásica de 240V
AC de 60 Hz en el enchufe del kit paralelo y abra
la primera carga. Antes de insertar la siguiente
carga, mantenga la salida del generador estable.
NOTA: Se recomienda encarecidamente insertar prime-
ro el dispositivo con la salida máxima y luego el dispos-
itivo con la salida mínima para ayudar a prevenir la
sobrecarga del inversor. No supere la Potencia máxima
del inversor, el kit paralelo y el enchufe.
8. Cuando haya terminado, apague el generador del
inversor de acuerdo con las instrucciones del Manual
del usuario y desconecte el kit paralelo.
