MAINTENANCE
GENERATOR: Brushes
The brushes in the generator should be inspected once
every year for chips and cracks. Brushes should be replaced
when they are worn to 1/4 inch (7mm).
NOTE: Replace brushes in sets only, never separately.
INSPECTING THE BRUSHES:
1. Remove cover plate (L).
2. Remove 4 stator bolts (O)
and endbell.
3. Disconnect the green (-) or
blue (+) brush wires from
the tab.
4. Remove brush mounting
screws (M).
5. Slide brushes (N) from
holders.
6. Replace if worn to 1/4 inch (7mm).
7. Do not over tighten screws.
NOTE: Replace only with brushes specified in parts
list. Other brushes may appear to be identical but may
have completely different mechanical and electrical
characteristics.
EXCITING THE GENERATOR:
NOTE: If your generator is a brushless unit please
contact your local service center or the Coleman
Powermate Service Department for assistance with
exciting your generator.
If there is a loss of residual magnetism (voltage will not
build up), it may be necessary to re-excite the unit.
1. Use a 6-volt lantern battery
(dry cell).
2. Remove the brush cover.
3. Start the engine with no
load connected to the
generator.
4. Attach the "-" lead of the
battery to the negative
brush. Very briefly, touch
the "+" lead of the battery to
the positive brush as
shown. Remove as soon as voltage builds up. To measure
voltage, use a plug-in voltmeter.
HEAT SHIELD:
Inspect to ensure that all heat shields and heat deflectors
are intact and in place.
ENGINE: Carburetor Icing
During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions may
develop which will cause an icing condition in the carburetor. If
this develops, the engine may run rough, loose power, and may
stall. This temporary condition can be overcome by deflecting
some of the hot air from the engine over the carburetor area.
NOTE: Refer to the engine manufacturer's manual for
service and maintenance of the engine.
