English

14.Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that maybe caught in the starter or other rotating parts.

15.Unit must reach operating speed before electrical loads are connected. Disconnect loads before turning off engine.

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:

16.To prevent surging that may possibly damage

equipment, do not allow engine to run out of

fuel when electrical loads are applied.

17. When powering solid state equipment, a Power Line Conditioner should be used to avoid possible damage to equipment. (See Caution Statement on this page.)

18.Do not stick anything through ventilating slots, even when the generator is not operating. This can damage the generator or cause personal injury.

19.Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain all fuel to prevent leakage that may occur.

20.Use proper lifting techniques when transporting the generator from site to site. Improper lifting techniques may result in personal injury.

21.To avoid burns, do not touch engine muffler or other engine or generator surfaces which became hot during operation.

1.Determine if you want to run one item or multiple items simultaneously.

2.Check start and run 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 start and run watts for each item. If the nameplate only gives volts and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts.

1 KW = 1,000 watts.

NOTE: Allow 2 1/2 to 4 times the nameplate wattage for starting equipment.

4.The generator’s start/surge and run/rated watts should match or exceed the total number of watts required for the equipment you want to run.

5.Always connect the heaviest load to the generator first, then add other items one at a time.

6.Motorized appliances or tools require more than their rated wattage for start up.

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 may also be necessary for some solid state applications.

Typical example of solid state equipment include:

Garage door openers Kitchen appliances with digital displays Televisions Stereos Personal computers Quartz clocks Copy machines Telephone equipment

BEFORE OPERATION

GENERATOR OPERATION

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

Make sure that the generator is grounded to help prevent accidental shock. A ground lug has been provided for this purpose. Connect a length of heavy gauge wire between the generator lug and an external ground source, such as a water pipe or copper rod driven into the ground.

WARNING: Do not use a pipe carrying combustible material as the ground source.

FUEL

Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive gasoline. Regular grade gasoline may be used provided a high octane rating is obtained (at least 85 pump octane).

CAUTION: Do not overfill the tank. Keep the maximum fuel level 1 1/4 inches below the top of the fuel tank. This will allow expansion in hotweather and prevent overflow.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1.Check oil level and fuel.

2.Disconnect all electrical loads from the unit.

3.Open fuel shut off valve located above the oil fill tube.

4.Adjust the engine choke to the proper position. Set the choke lever to the fully closed position when the engine is cold. For warm engine, it may be set to the mid position. After the engine has run for awhile and is fully warmed up, place the choke in the fully open position.

WARNING:Gasoline is very dangerous. Serious injury may result from fire caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.

1. Do not fill fuel tank with engine running.

2. Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.

3. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

LUBRICATION

DONOT attempt to start

this engine without filling the crank case with the proper amount and type of oil. (See the accompanying engine manual for this information.) Your generator has been shipped from the factory without oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit without oil can damage the engine.

PRE-START PREPARATION

Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing parts and for any damage which may have occurred during shipment.

5.Push the engine switch to the “RUN" position.

6.Pull on the starter rope warms up, readjust the choke.

CAUTION: Never pull the starter handle while

will result.

WARNING: Provide adequate ventilation

for toxic exhaust gases and cooling air flow.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

Controlled break-in helps insure proper engine and

generator operation. Follow engine procedure outlined in engine manual.

CAUTION: Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in period (the first two to three hours of operation).

CAUTION: Allow generator to run at no load for five minutes upon each initial start-up to permit engine and generator to stabilize and to check for proper operation.

English

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 (C) to the off “STOP” position.

4.Do not leave the generator until it has completely stopped.

5.If a cover is used, do not install until unit has cooled.

APPLYING LOAD

This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full capacity. When starting the generator, disconnect all load. Apply load only after the generator is running. The voltage is regulated via the engine speed adjusted at the factory for the correct output. Readjusting is not advised.

CAUTION: 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.

MAJOR FEATURES

AC FEATURES

Before reapplying the load, determine why the breaker tripped by referring to the trouble shooting chart introduced later in the manual. Correct the problem and reapply the load to the generator.

DCFEATURES BATTERY CHARGER:

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH GEL PACK, SEALED, OR SMALL (MOTORCYCLE) BATTERIES.

These generators contain an additional circuit used for battery charging purposes. A two-prong DC receptacle (D) is provided on the control panel. A battery charging cable equipped with a matching plug for this receptacle has been supplied with the unit.

The battery charger on this generator is referred to as an unregulated taper charger - the most widely used in the market today. The amount of current flowing will depend on the charging voltage and battery's state of charge. As the battery becomes more fully charged, the output current to the battery decreases and nearly becomes constant. Taper chargers are intended to be used with the provision that they will be disconnected from the battery after a maximum time on charge. Normally a period of 30 to 120 minutes is sufficient to recharge a weak battery. The charge level of the battery should be checked periodically.

CAUTION: This battery charging system is intended to recharge weak batteries, not to "boost start" vehicles.

The Pulse Series generators are equipped with two 120-

volt receptacles (A). The total wattage of the generator may be drawn from either receptacle.

Use only good quality, well insulated grounded cord sets to plug into the generator receptacles. Make sure the wire gauge of the cord set is sufficient to handle the amount of current listed on the electrical load's nameplate.

For example: A cord set comprised of 14 AWG wire is capable of handling up to 15 amps of current at 120 volts.

CAUTION: Do not exceed the generator's rated wattage and/or amperage capacity for continuous operation. Damage to the generator or equipment may result.

NOTE: Electrical - The ampacity of the phase conductors

from the generator terminals to the first over current device shall not be less than 115 percent of the nameplate rating of the generator.

AC CIRCUIT BREAKER

The AC circuit is protected by a thermal circuit breaker. A receptacle overload or an external short-circuit will cause the AC breaker to trip, thereby protecting the unit. If this occurs, disconnect all electrical loads and reset the circuit by pushing in on the button head (B). (You may need to wait a few seconds for the circuit breaker to cool before it will reset.)

Note: When the battery charger circuit is in use, the AC

capacity is reduced by 180 watts. Make sure the combined load is within the rated limits.

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.

Connect the red clip to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect the black clip to the negative terminal of the battery. Insert the DC plug into the DC receptacle of the generator. After the battery is fully charged, remove the battery charging cable from the generator and then disconnect from the battery posts.

WARNING: Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised 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.

DC CIRCUIT BREAKER: The maximum current available

from the battery charger circuit is 15 amps. An automatic DC circuit breaker has been provided to protect the circuit from overloads and assure that the battery gets recharged. If an overload occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. After it cools, it will automatically reset itself. The battery's maximum rate of charge will eventually reduce to less than 15amps and then to zero as the battery approaches a 100 percent state of charge.

FUEL FILTER

These generators are equipped with a separate fuel shut off and inline fuel filter. No regular maintenance is required except to inspect and replace if clogged.

WARNING:Gasoline is very dangerous. Serious injury may result from fire caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.

SPARK PLUG

Remove the spark plug and clean the electrodes section with a wire brush or sandpaper. Next, set the gap at .028 (0.6-0.7 mm) by adjusting the negative electrode.

AIR CLEANER-FILTER ELEMENT

A clogged air filter decreases engine efficiency and increases fuel consumption and engine wear. Cleaning the filter at the recommended intervals is necessary for good engine performance.

Note: In case engine is used under very dusty conditions, clean air cleaner once a day or every 10 working hours.

The Pulse Series generators contain a paper element air filter. In normal conditions, clean every 25 hours by gently tapping to remove dirt. Replace when beyond cleaning.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION (TIC)

The engine is equipped with a Transistor Ignition System (TIC). This device controls the ignition electronically and offers

time without polishing or adjusting the contact point.

EXCITING THE GENERATOR

If there is a loss of residual magnetism in the rotor (voltage will not build up), it may be necessary to re-excite the unit. Contact your local service center or the Coleman Powermate Service Department for assistance.

INFREQUENT SERVICE

CAUTION: Replace with only the same type of spark plug which was removed. An improper spark plug can cause the engine to overheat, emit smoke, or otherwise perform poorly.

SPARK ARRESTER MUFFLER

This engine is equipped with a U.S. Forest Service approved spark arrest muffler. It should periodically be cleaned to prevent the screen from becoming clogged, which could hamper engine performance.

To clean, remove the muffler shield. Remove the four screws and pull the

English

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

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 Coleman Powermate Generator Fuel Additive

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.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage, a registered electrician or an authorized service representative should perform installation and all service. Under no circumstances should an unqualified person attempt to wire into an utility circuit.

To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the

residence electrical system is required.

Before temporary connection of the generator to the

residence electrical system, turn off the main switch.

If your generator is to be used as a stand-by power source in case of utility power failure, it should be installed by a registered electrician and in compliance with all applicable local electrical codes.

ENGINE TROUBLE SHOOTING

Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch be installed by a licensed qualified electrician so that the building's electrical circuits may be safely switched between utility power and the generator's output, thereby preventing backfeed into the power utility's electrical system.

WARNING: To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the residence electrical system is required. Before temporary connection of a generator to the residence electrical system turn off the main switch. Before making permanent connections a double throw transfer switch must be installed. To avoid electrocution or property damage, only a trained electrician should connect generator to residence electrical system. California law requires isolation of the residence electrical system before connecting a generator to residence electrical systems.
