Parallel Outlets Located just above the Ground Terminal, the generator’s Parallel Outlets enable a user to run two PG2000BiSR generator’s simultaneously. This operation requires special cables. When operating parallel generators, the rated output is 3.0kVA and the rated current is 25A/120VAC.
ASSEMBLY Connecting Generator to an Electrical System If connecting generator to a building’s electrical system for standby power, The power from the generator must be isolated from the circuit breaker or alternative power source. The connection must comply with all electrical codes and applicable laws. • UNPLUG Never directly connect generator to a household power source. This generator produces a very high voltage which could result in burn or electrocution causing serious injury or death.
ASSEMBLY Adding /Check ing Engine Oil • • Place generator on a level surface. Remove screws and then remove the outer casing cover. • Remove the crankcase dipstick. • Insert a funnel into the crankcase dipstick hole and carefully add the specified amount of 4-Cycle engine oil (SAE 10W30) to empty reservoir until or oil reaches the outer edge of the oil fill hole (crankcase dipstick hole). Be sure to replace dipstick and securely tighten before attempting to start the engine.
OPERATION Grounding the Generator To avoid electrocution, this generator must be properly grounded prior to use. For instructions see Control Panel Functions pg. 10. Standard Atmospheric Conditions Ambient Temperature: 77ºF (25ºC) Barometric Pressure: 100kPa Relative Humidity: 30% Generator output will vary due to changes in temperature, altitude, and humidity. If the temperature, humidity, or altitude are higher than standard atmospheric conditions, the generator’s output will be reduced.
OPERATION How to Stop Engine • • Turn the Economy switch to the “OFF” position. Disconnect any electronic device. All loads MUST be disconnect from the generator. Never start or stop the engine with electrical devices plugged in to the receptacles. Turn the Start Switch to the “OFF” position. Turn the fuel supply to the “OFF” position. • • CAUTION! If you choose one push start key or remote control to stop the generator, please press the power switch to "OFF" position at the end.
OPERATION Charging a 12 Volt Battery This generator can be used to charge a 12 volt automotive or storage battery by taking the following steps: ONLY level is low. Never add tap water. 1. Use a wire brush to clean battery terminals if corroded. 2. Securely connect the red cable clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal. 3. Securely connect the black cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal. 4. Turn the Economy switch to the “OFF” position to start battery charging. 5. and 1.
OPERATION AC Parallel Operation It is possible to connect two PG2000BiSR generators to each other, using a parallel cable kit, to increase available power output. • Connect PARALLEL OPERATION CABLES to two PG2000iS generators according to the instructions provided with the cable kit. • Make sure the Economy switch is in the same position on both generators. • All electronic devices should be turned “OFF” and disconnected from generators prior to starting generator engines. • Start generator engines.
