CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS
Note: The economy switch must be moved to the “OFF” position when using electrical devices that require a large
starting current, such as an air compressor.
Parallel Connections
Located just above the Ground Terminal, the generator’s Parallel Connections enable a user to run two PMG 4500iSR
generators simultaneously. This feature requires special cables and a parallel kit. When operating generators in parallel,
the rated output is 7.4kVA and the rated output is 61.6A/120VAC. To operate generators in parallel consult a PowerMax
dealer for a PARALLEL OPERATION CABLE KIT
• Only connect this generator to another PMG 4500iSR Inverter Generator.
• Only use a parallel operation cable kit designed to work with this Generator.
WARNING! Never connect generators that are different models.
FuelTankCap
Turn counterclockwise to remove the fuel tank cap.
Grounding the Generator
This portable inverter generator is equipped with a terminal for the connection of a
ground electrode conductor where a grounding electrode system is required by NEC
Article 250.34(A). The equipment grounding conductors of the generator receptacles
are bonded to the generator frame. Where the generator supplies power to cord and
plug connected equipment, like power tools, the frame of the generator is not required
by the NEC to be connected to an earthen ground electrode. The generator neutral
conductor is bonded to the generator frame in accordance with NEC Article 250.34(C)
• Only operate generator on a level surface.
• The ground terminal MUST be connected to an earthen ground if the generator is connected to a structure.
WARNING! Generator must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution.

• Only connect this generator to another PMG 4500iSR generator.
• Only use a PowerMax approved parallel operation cable kit to connect generators.
• The parallel operation kit must be removed if operating only one generator.
• Never disconnect or remove and parallel operation kit while generator(s) are still running.
WARNING! Never connect generators that are different models.
AC Parallel Operation
It is possible to connect two PMG 4500iSR generators to each other, using a parallel cable kit, to increase available
power output
•You may connect PARALLEL OPERATION CABLES to two PMG 4500iSR generators according to the instructions
provided with parallel cable kit.
•Make sure the Economy switch is in the same position on both generators.
•All electrical devices should be turned “OFF” and disconnected from generators prior to starting generator engines.
•Start generator engines. Make sure the green AC Pilot indicator light comes on for each generator.
•When engines have stabilized, plug in electrical devices to AC receptacle and turn on first load.
•Allow generator output to stabilize (the first electrical device to an AC receptacle on the parallel cable kit.) before
plugging in the next electrical load.
OPERATION
WARNING!
• A faulty appliance or power cord can create an electric shock. Do not use electrical devices that have a damaged cord
or plug.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stalls, switch off and disconnect appliance
immediately. The appliance may have a fault or its rated load requirements exceeds the capacity of the generator.
• To avoid damage to generator or electrical device, do not connect a load to the generator if its electrical rating exceeds
that of the receptacle.
Only connect electrical devices to the generator that are in good working order and do not
exceed the rated power supply of the generators in parallel or the desired receptacle.
Limit start-up time to 3 seconds for load requiring maximum output. For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated
output.
Note:It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the largest electrical demand output first and the smallest
electrical demand last to help prevent overloading the generator.
Note:Most electrical devices require power beyond its rated wattage to start. This additional power is referred to as surge
watts and motor-based start-up loads usually last between 2-3 seconds. When an electrical device is started, the red
overload indicator may come on. This is normal. If the light stays on disconnect all electrical devices and stop the engine.

Checking Spark Plug
• Remove the Engine Service Panel to gain access to the spark plug.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
• Before removing the spark plug, clean the area around its base to prevent debris from
entering the engine.
• Insert a 19mm, 6-point, deep-well spark plug socket wrench through the opening on
the outside of the cover. Turn the wrench counter clockwise to loosen and remove
spark plug.
• Check for discoloration and clean carbon deposits from the electrode with a wire
brush.
• Check the electrode gap and slowly adjust to 0.6 - 0.7mm (0.024-0.028 in) if
necessary.
• Reinstall spark plug and tighten to 20.0Nm (15 ft-lb) of torque.
• If spark plug is worn, replace only with an equivalent type. Spark plug should be
replaced annually regardless of apparent condition.
• Reconnect spark plug wire, firmly, until it clicks into place.
Standard Spark Plug: F7TC/F7RTC
Spark Plug Gap: 0.6 - 0.7mm (0.024-0.028 in)
