OPERATION
PARALLEL OPERATION
Fire and electrocution hazard. Never connect or
disconnect the parallel cord leads when a generator is
running.
Connecting to a generator that is not compatible can
cause a low voltage output that can damage tools and
appliances powered by the generator.
Parallel operation gives you the ability to link the iGen2200
or iGen2500 to a compatible Westinghouse Inverter
Generator for combined running and peak power output.
A Westinghouse parallel cord (purchased separately) is
required for parallel operation. This cord can be purchased
from an authorized Westinghouse Generator dealer.
Note: Do not use ECO MODE when in parallel operation
with another Westinghouse generator.
Parallel cord: Part# 507PC
Note: Compatible Westinghouse generators without
parallel ports can be operated in parallel with the
receptacle-mounted parallel cable, Part# 260041.
The iGen2200 and iGen2500 are parallel-operation
compatible with the following Westinghouse inverter
generators:
• iGen2200
• iGen2300
• iGen2500
• IGen2600
• IGen4500
1. On both generators, make sure the fuel switch and the
ECO MODE switch are in the OFF position.
2. Connect a black and red parallel cable lead to each
generator. Connect the black lead to the left port, the
red lead to the right port.
WARNING
NOTICE
Note: DO NOT connect two red leads or two black leads
into the same generator.

3. Connect the green ground lead to the ground terminal
on each generator and tighten the nut.
4. Start one of the generators and wait until the OUTPUT
READY LED illuminates.
5. Start the second generator and wait until the OUTPUT
READY LED illuminates before connecting a load.
6. Connect additional loads as described in Power
Management section.
7. Unplug all loads before stopping the generators.
TRANSPORTING
• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes
before transporting.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control
panel.
• Only use the generator's fixed handle to lift the unit or
attach any load restraints such as ropes or tie-down
straps. Do not attempt to lift or secure the generator by
holding onto any of its other components.
• Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the
possibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain the fuel
or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty before
transport.
