APPLYING LOAD
This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full capac-
ity. When starting the generator, disconnect all load. Apply load only
after generator is running. Voltage is regulated via the engine speed
adjusted at the factory for correct output. Readjusting will void
warranty.
•
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum
wattage rating of the generator when using one or
more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage
rating of any one receptacle.
SHUTTING THE GENERATOR OFF
1.
Remove entire electrical load.
2.
Let the engine run for a few minutes without load.
3.
Move the engine switch to the "OFF" position. (Turn
the key switch to "OFF" on the electric start models).
4.
Do not leave the generator until it has completely stopped.
5.
Close the fuel shut off valve if the engine is to be put in
storage or transported.
6.
If cover is used, do not install until unit has cooled.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Controlled break-in helps insure proper engine and generator
operation. Follow engine procedure outlined in engine manual.
•
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in
period (the first two to three hours of operations).
MAINTENANCE
GENERATOR: Brushes (BRUSH TYPE UNITS ONLY)
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.
Remove screws holding the
protective plate on the inside
of the endbell.
4.
Disconnect the green (-) or
blue (+) brush wires from
the tab.

5.
Remove brush mounting screws (M).
6.
Slide brushes (N) from holders.
7.
Replace if worn to 1/4 inch (7mm).
8.
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®
Product 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) or a 12-volt
automotive battery.
2.
Disconnect all loads from
generator.
3.
Remove the brush cover.
4.
Plug a lamp or light into the
generator before starting the
engine. The light source will
illuminate when voltage has
returned.
5.
Start the engine with no load connected to the generator.
6.
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. Do not remove any parts or modify parts. Removing or
modifying parts could cause serious damage to the unit.
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. Call
Product Service for more information.
NOTE: Refer to the engine manufacturer's manual for
service and maintenance of the engine.
