When I start the generator (normal procedure), it fires up and the screen immediately goes blank and dies. Seems like this has happened before. Holding the start knob in the start position does no good. It ends up grinding the starter.

Slave? The parallel cable seemed to be part of the problem. I replaced the voltage regulator. Then got a voltage detection error. I unhooked the parallel cable and it has been running for days.

There's a plug marked parallel. To connect multiple generators. Allows us to swap generators without power outage.
What are calling a slave?

Its a 24v system. So just jump the batteries to the generator next to it? Might have to try this. We just run 1 at a time.
Anyway, swapping out the voltage regulator fixed the problem.

If you have the parallel cable hooked up between two or more sets, the problem can come from one of the sets not having the same phasing, as the other.
