1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

 Follow all safety and operating instruction for proper use of the

generator.

 Never Connect or Disconnect the parallel kit cables from the

generators while running. Doing so will cause perminate damage
not covered under warranty.

 The load requirement of the electrical appliance cannot exceed the

combined continual output of the paralleled generators.

 The special parallel cables for the PH2100PRi and PH2700PRi are

specific to the parallel operation of two POWERHOUSE® generators.
DO NOT use them for other brands of generators or other applications.

 This kit cannot be used for paralleling three or more generators or

running two different brands of generators.

 ONLY the POWERHOUSE® Dual Generator Parallel Kit and cables

may be connected to the parallel signal port. DO NOT CONNECT TO
OTHER ELECTRONICS OR USE OTHER CABLES. Permanent
damage not covered by the warranty will occur.

2. Parallel Operating Features:

1. Two PH2100PRi or PH2700PRi model generators can run in parallel to increase the total output to a

maximum load of.

 4200 W (Continual output, 4000 W) with the PH2100PRi.
 5200 W (Continual output, 5000 W) with the PH2700PRi.

2. You can also run a PH2100PRi and a PH2700PRi in parallel. The maximum output will be 4200 W
(Continual output, 4000 W).

1. Prepare two POWERHOUSE® generators for operation.

2. Parallel power and signal connections MUST be done with the generator engine NOT running.
DO NOT connect or disconnect the parallel power or signal cables while the engine is running.
Irreparable inverter damage WILL result and is not covered under warranty.

3. Connect the 15-pin signal cable between the parallel kit and each generator’s signal ports and secure

with the thumb screws. Do not over tighten.

4. Connect the 3-pin parallel power cable from the parallel kit into each generator’s parallel power
sockets making sure that the cables for generator ‘A’ and generator ‘B’ are not switched.

5. Start both generators and confirm that both green "RUN" lights are illuminated on the generators and
on the front panel of the parallel kit.

6. Start both generators. The starting procedure is the same as the normal starting procedure.

7. Securely plug the electrical appliance plug into the appropriate receptacles and switch on the

electrical appliance.

 When running the generators in parallel, the economy function will

automatically be turned off and both units will be running at the higher
engine speed.
