Coleman Portable Generators

This portable Coleman generator is equipped with a 12 HP OHV engine that produces 6,000-watts of running and 7,500-watts of maximum power. Overhead valve (OHV) engine provides improved fuel efficiency, longer life and less maintenance. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) provides precise voltage control. A convenient control panel features two 120-volt duplex outlets and one 10/240-volt 30a locking style outlet, on/off switch and circuit breaker protection.

The portable Coleman has a 6 gallon gas tank provides 9 hours of run time at 50% load. This generator offers low oil shutdown to help protect the engine. It comes complete with pneumatics wheels and handle to provide easy mobility and is supported by the Coleman Powermate Corporation.

Coleman portable electric generators are fueled by gasoline and include 120-volt power outlets like the ones in the walls of your home. When the generator is running, you can plug appliances and tools directly into these outlets. Some portable generators also include 240-volt outlets (that is, the kind of outlet for an electric dryer or for other large appliances).

The popularity of the Coleman portable power generator is due to their lower cost and relative ease of use. Since these units are portable, they can be used almost anywhere and require little setup. This also makes these portable generators popular for use at home outdoor events, camping, or anywhere utility power is out of the reach of an extension cord.

The portable generator may be all you need for recreational purposes. And you may use up to 8,000 watts if using a generator to power tools on the jobsite. Because you plug appliances directly into a portable power generator, you'll also want to make sure that your model has the number and type of outlets you need. The size of the fuel tank also is crucial. The bigger the tank, the longer your generator can run without refilling and produce power.

Small home portable generators, have become very popular in recent years with residential homeowners. The smallest portable electric generators are small sets that can range from 900 to 8,000 watts, be handheld, mounted on a stationary frame, or a wheeled cart and generally operate on gasoline (although other fuel options are readly available). Home portable generators are less expensive (than stationary generators) and can be easily stored in a garage or utility closet when not in use. Home portable generators are available to run one or two critical home devices when utility power is interrupted. Smaller units allow the homeowner to plug an appliance directly to the generator (usually via an extension cord), where larger portable generator units may power an entire home circuit via use of a manual transfer switch.

Once situated, fill the Coleman generator with the required type of gasoline and oil and start the unit. Startup can be as simple as pressing a switch, but on some you'll have to yank a manual recoil pull-cord. Of course, you will have to plug the electric appliances you want to power into the generator, refuel it as necessary, and shut the generator off when you're finished with it.
