ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
This parallel kit is intended for use with Champion Power
Equipment Power Stations. Please refer to your Power Stations
Operator’s Manuals for safety rules, start up and shut down
procedures, specifications, and troubleshooting.
The total output of this kit will depend on the rated wattage of
the Power Stations connected to it. The maximum output of the
parallel kit is the amperage rating of the circuit breakers.
Paralleling Two Power Stations
1. Ensure both Power Stations are turned off and all electrical
loads are disconnected before installing parallel kit.
2. Lift open the parallel kit storage cover and remove the cables.
3. Place the parallel kit on top of the heaviest Power Station
being paralleled so that the handles on the Power Station fit
securely into the slots on the bottom of the parallel kit.
4. Place the second Power Station on top of the parallel kit so
that the Power Stations feet fit securely into the slots on top
of the parallel kit.
5. Lift Power Stations AC input side cover and insert the RED
power lead into the RED receptacle and the BLACK power
lead into the BLACK receptacle.
