IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will
cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death. If you start to feel
dizzy or weak, get to fresh air immediately.
OPERATE GENERATOR OUTDOORS ONLY IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA AND POINT EXHAUST AWAY.
DO NOT operate the generator inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or
compartment, including the generator compartment of a
recreational vehicle.
DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through
windows, doors, vents or other openings.
DANGER
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison
you cannot see or smell.
DANGER
Operate equipment with guards in place.
Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or
accessories. Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can
result.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or
items that could become caught.
DANGER
Generator produces powerful voltage.
DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, damaged or frayed.
Use only Champion electrical cords for proper application.
DO NOT operate generator in wet weather.
DO NOT allow children or unqualified persons to operate or
service the generator.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and
windows are open.
ONLY use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors,
and vents.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in
carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING
Although the generator contains a spark arrester, maintain
a minimum distance of 5 ft. (1.5 m) from dry vegetation to
prevent fires.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in damp areas and
areas containing conductive material such as metal decking.
Connection to your home’s electrical system requires a
listed 30A transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician
and approved by the local authority having jurisdiction. The
connection must isolate the generator from the utility power
and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARNING
Do not use generator for medical and life support uses.
In case of emergency, call 911 immediately.
NEVER use this product to power life support devices or life
support appliances.
NEVER use this product to power medical devices or medical
appliances.
Inform your electricity provider immediately if you or anyone in
your household depends on electrical equipment to live.
Inform your electrical provider immediately if a loss of power
would cause you or anyone in your household to experience a
medical emergency.

100333 - PARALLEL KIT
WARNING
Spark from removed spark plug wire can result in fire or
electrical shock.
When servicing the generator:
Disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it cannot
contact the plug or any other metal object.
DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed.
Use only approved spark plug testers.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on
contact. Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
ensure adequate cooling.
Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible
materials.
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the recoil cord will pull hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones,
fractures, bruises or sprains could result. Unintentional
startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or
laceration.
When starting engine, pull the recoil cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
DO NOT start or stop the engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned on.
CAUTION
Exceeding the generator’s running capacity can damage the
generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
DO NOT overload the generator.
DO NOT tamper with the governed speed.
DO NOT modify the generator in any way.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Symbols
Some of the following symbols may be used on this product. Please study them and learn their meaning. Proper interpretation of these
symbols will allow you to more safely operate the product.
SYMBOL MEANING
Read Operator’s Manual. To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand operator’s manual
before using this product.
Electric Shock. Failure to use in dry conditions and to observe safe practices can result in electric
shock. Improper connections to a building can allow current to backfeed into utility lines, creating an
electrocution hazard. A transfer switch must be used when connecting to a building.
Fire/Explosion. Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death. Keep generator at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all objects to prevent combustion.
Hot Surface. To reduce the risk of injury or damage, avoid contact with any hot surface.
Open Flame Alert. Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Keep fuel away from
smoking, open flames, sparks, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
Wet Conditions Alert. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

OPERATION
OPERATION
This kit is intended for the use with Champion Power Equipment
inverters with a least one inverter being 2800W or larger
(2800+), and with the ability to parallel. Please refer to your
inverter Owner’s Manual for safety rules, start up, and shut down
procedures, specifications, and troubleshooting.
The total output of this kit will depend on the size of the inverters
connected to it. The maximum output of the parallel kit is the total
amperage of the circuit breakers.
WARNING
If not spaced apart, the exhaust heat from one unit may
discolor or melt the plastic on the other unit.
Paralleling two 2800W+ inverters
1. Inverters to be turned off and all electrical loads disconnected
before installing parallel kit.
2. Align the inverters in the same direction in a “V” configuration
at a minimum of 18 in. [45 cm] apart.
NOTICE
This parallel kit is meant to parallel two ParaLINK compatible
inverters together. Both inverters must have ParaLINK parallel
receptacles as shown below:
NOTICE
This unit should NOT be used to connect inverters with
non-ParaLINK receptacles such as the style shown below:
3. Clamp the parallel kit to the left handle of the inverter on the
left of the “V”.
4. On each inverter, remove the connector end cap and insert
the RED power lead into the RED receptacle and the BLACK
power lead into the BLACK receptacle.
5. On each inverter, connect the grounding wire to the grounding
terminal on the inverter.
6. Start engine of both inverters according to inverter Owner’s
Manual. Observe the green output indicator light on both
inverter panels. The light will blink during start up and will be
solid when loads may be connected.
7. Connect devices to parallel or inverter panels up to the
receptacles rated amperage. Never exceed the specified
capacity of the receptacle.
8. Follow the instructions in the inverter Owner’s Manual for
turning off the inverter.
NOTICE
If the parallel kit has been overloaded and the circuit breaker
has been tripped, reduce the load and press the parallel kit
reset button to restore power.
