Using Electric Power; Ac Application - Coleman CG3500i Owner & User Manual

USING ELECTRIC POWER

1. AC APPLICATION

(a) Check the AC pilot lamp for proper voltage.
(b) Turn the economy control switch to the "ON" position.
(c) Turn off the switch(es) of the electrical appliance(s) before connecting to
the generator.
(d) Insert the plug(s) of the electrical appliance(s) into the receptacle.
CAUTION: ─────────────────────
 Be sure the electric apparatus is turned off before plugging in.
 Be sure the total load is within generator rated output.
 Be sure the socket load current is within socket rated current.
 The economy control switch must be turned to "OFF" when using electric
devices that require a large starting current, such as a compressor or a
submergible pump.

2．OVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT
The overload indicator light comes on when an overload of a connected
electrical device is detected, the inverter unit overheats, or the AC output
voltage rises. The electronic breaker will then activate, stopping power to the
generation in order to protect the generator and any connected electric devices.
The output pilot light (green) will flicker and the overload indicator light (red) will
turn on, then the engine will stop running. Once engine stalls the following steps
should be taken:
(a) Turn off any connected electric devices and stop the engine
(b) Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the
application range.
(c) Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control unit. If any blockages are found, remove.
(d) After checking, restart the engine.
CAUTION: ─────────────────────────────────────
 The generator AC output automatically resets when the engine is stopped and then restarted.
 The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at first when using electric devices that require a large
starting current, such as a compressor or a submergible pump. However, this is not a malfunction.
