15. Ensure that generator is properly grounded. (See
"Grounding the generator" section in this manual.)
16. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that
may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
17. Unit must reach operating speed before electrical loads
are connected. Disconnect loads before turning off
engine.
18. To prevent surging that may possibly damage
equipment, do not allow engine to run out of fuel when
electrical loads are applied.
19. When powering solid state equipment, a Power Line
Conditioner should be used to avoid possible damage to
equipment.
20. Do not stick anything through ventilating slots, even
when the generator is not operating. This can damage
the generator or cause personal injury.
21. Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain all
fuel to prevent leakage that may occur.
22. Use proper lifting techniques when transporting the
generator from site to site. Improper lifting techniques
may result in personal injury.
23. To avoid burns, do not touch engine muffler or other
engine or generator surfaces which became hot during
operation.
24. Do not alter or modify the heat shield.
SPARK ARRESTER
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER
YOUR PRODUCT MAY NOT BE EQUIPPED WITH A
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER. If the product will be used
around flammable materials, such as agricultural crops, forests,
brush, grass, or other similar items, then an approved spark arrester
should be installed and is legally required in the State of California.
The California statutes requiring a spark arrester are Sections
13005(b), 4442 and 4443. Spark Arresters are also required on some
U.S. Forest Service land and may also be legally required under other
statutes and ordinances. An approved spark arrester is available from
your Coleman® Powermate® product dealer, or may be ordered from
Coleman Powermate, Inc., P.O. Box 6001, Kearney, Nebraska 68848.
1-800-445-1805. Spark arresters can also be ordered from our
website, www.colemanpowermate.com.

DETERMINING TOTAL WATTAGE
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage to your
generator it is necessary to know the total wattage of the connected
load. To determine which tools and/or appliances your generator will
run follow these steps:
1.
Determine if you want to run one item or multiple items
simultaneously.
2.
Check wattage requirements for the items you will be
running by referring to the load's nameplate or by
calculating it (multiply amps x volts = watts).
3.
Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only gives
volts and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts.
1 KW = 1,000 watts.
4.
Motorized appliances or tools require more than their rated
wattage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2 1/2 to 4 times the listed wattage for
starting equipment powered by electric motors.
5.
The generator's rated watts should match or exceed the
total number of watts required for the equipment you want
to run.
6.
Always connect the heaviest load to the generator first,
then add other items one at a time.
NOTE: Additional information on determining wattage
requirements can be found on our website:
www.colemanpowermate.com.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
•
CAUTION: Operating voltage and frequency
requirement of all electronic equipment should be checked
prior to plugging them into this generator. Damage may
result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a
+/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation
from the generator name plate ratings. To avoid damage,
always have an additional load plugged into the generator
if solid state equipment (such as a television set) is used. A
power line conditioner is recommended for some solid state
applications.
A power line conditioner should be used when running one or more
of the following solid state items:
Garage door openers
Kitchen appliances with digital displays
Televisions
Stereos
Personal computers
Quartz clocks
Copy machines
Telephone equipment
Other solid state equipment may require a power line conditioner.
