CIRCUIT PROTECTION

AC FEATURES

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If
the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs,
the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all
electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem
before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading
causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:
Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause
damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may
be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.

DC FEATURES

The charging system of the unit is supplied by the
stater/alternator of the engne. 12 volts DC is constantly
charging the battery when the unit is running . Disconnecting
the battery will stop the charging of the battery.
Before charging a storage battery, check the electrolyte
fluid level in all the cells. (Sealed batteries do not require
checking). Add distilled water to each cell if necessary, to bring
the level back up to the manufacturer's required level.
WARNING: Storage batteries give off
EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas while charging. Do
not allow smoking, open flames, sparks, or
spark producing equipment in the area while
charging.
WARNING: Battery electrolyte fluid is
compressed of sulfuric acid that can be very
dangerous and cause severe burns. Do not
allow this fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing,
etc. If contact or spillage does occur, flush the
area with water immediately.

Battery Installation

Coleman Powermate recommends a 12 v battery with at
least 235 cranking amps. Model U1L, Lawn and Garden
Battery. Place the battery in the position provided. Place the
spacers on the bolts, then place the bolts through the loops on
the Hold-Down bracket. Place the assembly over the battery
and place the bolts through the holes on the battery pan and
tighten down the Hold-Down assembly with the 1/4-20 nuts
provided.
Spacers may be removed depending on the battery height.
WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid
(when filled). May contain explosive gasses.
Always abide by safety warnings provided
with the battery.
- Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away.
- Hydrogen gas is generated during
charging and discharging.
- Always shield eyes, protect skin and
clothing when working near batteries.
Connect the Rd 8ga. battery lead to the positive battery
post and the black 8ga. battery to the negative battery post with
the bolts and nuts provided.

LOW OIL SHUTDOWN

Some units are equipped with low oil shutdown. If the oil
level becomes lower than required, the generator set will
automatically shut off. This protects your generator set from
operating without proper lubrication.
If generator shuts off and the oil level is according to
specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle
that forces oil to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this.
If engine fails to start, the oil level may not be sufficient to
Qty. deactivate low oil level switch. Be sure the sump is completely
2 full of oil.

INFREQUENT SERVICE

2
If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting may result.
1
To eliminate hard starting, run the generator at least 30 minutes
2
every month. Also, if the unit will not be used for some time, it
is a good idea to drain the fuel from the carburetor and gas
tank.

LONG TERM STORAGE

When the generator set is not being operated or is being
stored more than one month, follow these instructions:
1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.
2. Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.
3. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the spark
plug hole, pull the recoil starter several times and replace
the plug. Then pull the starter until you feel the piston is on
its compression stroke and leave it in that position. This
closes both the intake and exhaust valves to prevent the
inside of the cylinder from rusting.
4. Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place that is well
ventilated away from open flame or sparks.
NOTE: The use of a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL
an equivalent, will minimize the formulation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. Such an additive may be added
to the gasoline in the fuel tank of the engine, or to the
gasoline in a storage container.
