Engine Break; Generator Shutoff; Load And Protector; Oil Warning System - Coleman CM04143N Operator's Manual

ENGINE BREAK-IN
The break-in period for the generator's engine is
the first 25 hours of operation. During this
timeframe, DO NOT exceed 75% of the
generator's load limit. In other words, the
maximum load during this break-in period should
be no more than 700 watts.
ALWAYS check the oil level before starting.
When checking the oil, screw in the dipstick
slowly until it bottoms. If running the
generator for extended periods of time, check
the oil level every eight hours or at least daily.
Change oil after the first 8 hours of operation;
thereafter, change the oil every 50 hours of
operation. If operating the generator under
heavy load or in high ambient temperature,
change the oil every 25 hours of operation.

GENERATOR SHUTOFF

1. Remove all electrical load devices from the
generator.
2. Allow the engine to run for 2-3 minutes with no
electrical load.
3. Turn engine switch off. This will stop the
engine.
4. Set the fuel switch to closed (OFF) position.
5. Verify that the generator has completely
stopped.
6. Allow the unit to cool before placing in storage.
1,850W PORTABLE GASOLINE GENERATOR

LOAD AND PROTECTOR

1. Total combined load through any
combination of receptacles must not
exceed rated power of generator.
2. Reduce load if AC protector or
DC protector (circuit breaker) turns
off. Press button to reset.
NOTE:
Power draw can be calculated by multiplying volts
and amps. The resulting number is wattage.
Never exceed the posted maximum wattage for
the generator or any individual receptacle. Refer
to owner's manuals and product tags to determine
the wattage of electrical load devices. Long power
cords and extension cords draw additional power.
Keep cord lengths at a minimum.
