Headhunter,
I spoke with the PowerPro rep also and hung up remembering that each breaker is 13A, and that to get full power you needed to wire the windings an parallel externally, using leads from each plug. He couldn't be specific, citing liability reasons. However, it doesn't look like this will work, based on reading many previous posts, without also making some internal mods so that the polarity of the windings can be reversed before making them parallel.
Still have not seen anyone post who has actually modified this generator to using both windings in parallel.
A data point, ran my PP3500 for a couple of hours this weekend at 7500 ft and probably 90F, used the AC without a problem. At home, have run it for probably 45min with AC and MW, 5000F, 90F+. Both cases using the 110 plug with a 30A adapter. I have to believe that the AC is drawing more than 13A.
