I purchased a Paxcess 2300/1800 invert-er generator. After viewing all reviews between the Paxcess and the I Power 2300/1800 I've concluded that these are one in the same generator. (Exact). I emailed the company of Paxcess looking to see where you can purchase spare parts and they confirmed at least on the carburetor you can use the MZ80. When I asked if this generator was a Yamaha clone they never responded. Thank you for confirming what I believed. That's great news. At least you can get parts. They also confirmed that when you parallel two generators you will only receive 80% of power, so some may think 4600 surge and 3600 running. NO. According to the company. 80% of the above mentioned. I did buy an adapter to connect to the L5-30 to convert it to a L14-30 so I can attach it to my house which goes directly to my electrical panel using an inter-lock (UL Listed). However My Paxcess States on the front panel Ground bonded to frame I Power does not. The one difference I observed. I guess you would need to UN-bond the neutral to run it to the house since the house is already grounded. Would you happen to know where the jumper is located? You can then always make a G-N Plug when you use the unit other than the house.

The A-iPower generator has a ground terminal on the face of the unit. If you're asking how the Paxcess is grounded or how to un-ground it I honestly have no idea and I would be a little hesitant to un-ground it simply because if you don't know what you're doing that can be pretty dangerous.

Will the Ai-2000 watt generator require a conversion kit to run at altitudes of 8,000 ft and above?

We've reached out to A-iPower in the past regarding the 2,000 Watt Generator # 289-SUA2000i and they said they have been used at up to 10,000 feet without the need for adapters or jets.
