THE PERIOD OF WARRANTY Any new EF-series or EDL-series Yamaha Generator purchased for private, non-commercial use from an authorized Yamaha consumer generator dealer in the conti- nental United States will be warranted against defects in material or work- manship for a period two (2) years from date of pur- chase, subject to exclusions noted herein. Any Yamaha non-commercial generator purchased and utilized for commercial or rental applications will be warranted for a period one (1) year from the date of purchase, subject to exclusions noted herein.
DURING THE PERIOD OF WARRANTY any authorized Yamaha consumer generator dealer will, free of charge, repair or replace, at Yamahas option, any part adjudged defective by Yamaha due to faulty workmanship or material from the factory. Parts used in warranty repairs will be warranted for the balance of the products warranty period. All parts replaced under warranty become property of Yamaha Motor Corporation U.S.A.

WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?
A. The customers responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance service, non-warranty repairs, accident damages, as well as oil and spark plugs.
Q. What are some examples of abnormal strain, neglect, or abuse?
A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include: Running the machine out of oil; lack of proper maintenance; operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes anoth- er part to fail; and so on. If you have any spe- cific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your dealer for advice.
Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as transportation due to a failure?
A. No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.
Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owners Manual instead of having the dealer do them?
A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owners and Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools or equipment be done by a Yamaha generator dealer.
Q. Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new Yamaha exactly as specified in the Owners Manual?
A. No. The warranty on a new Yamaha cannot be voided or cancelled. However, if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as shown in the Owners Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.
Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty?
A. Each Yamaha generator dealer is expected to: 1. Check the operation of the generator
before sale. 2. Explain the operation, maintenance, and
warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale, and upon your request at any later date.
In addition, each Yamaha generator dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and war- ranty repair work.
Q. Is the warranty transferable to second owners? A. Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty
can be transfered upon request. The unit has to be inspected and reregistered by an authorized Yamaha generator dealer for the policy to remain effective.

If you should move after you have purchased your new generator, please advise us of your new address by sending a postcard listing your Yamaha model name, engine number, dealer number (or dealers name) as it is shown on your warranty identification, your name and new mailing address. Mail to:
YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A. WARRANTY DEPARTMENT
P.O. Box 6555 Cypress, California 90630
This will ensure that Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has an up-to-date registration record in accordance with federal law.

EXHAUST FUMES ARE POISONOUS 9 Never operate the engine in a closed area or it may
cause unconsciousness and death within a short time. Operate the engine in a well ventilated area.
AE00075
FUEL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS 9 Always turn off the engine when refuelling. 9 Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an
open flame. 9 Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine or muf-
fler when refuelling. 9 If you swallow any fuel, inhale fuel vapor, or allow
any to get in your eye(s), see your doctor immedi- ately. If any fuel spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change your clothes.
9 When operating or transporting the machine, be sure it is kept upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak from the carburetor or fuel tank.
AE00843
ENGINE AND MUFFLER MAY BE HOT 9 Place the machine in a place where pedestrians or
children are not likely to touch the machine.

AE00091
CONNECTION
w Before the generator can be connected to a build- ings electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch in the build- ings main fuse box. The switch is the connection point for generator power and allows selection of generator or main line power to the building. This will prevent the generator from charging the main power line (backfeeding) when the main power sup- ply has failed or has been turned off for line repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line mainte- nance personnel. Also, generator and building electrical system damage can occur when normal operating power returns if unit is used without an isolation switch.
AE00086
EXTENSION CORD NOTES 9 When using an extension cord, its total length
should not exceed 60 meters for cross section of 1.5 mm square and 100 meters for cross section of 2.5 mm square.
9 This extension cord should be protected by a tough flexible rubber sheath (IEC 245) or the equivalent to withstand mechanical stresses.

Overload indicator light The overload indicator light 1 comes on when an over- load of a connected electrical device is detected, the inverter control unit overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. The electronic breaker will then activate, stopping power generation in order to protect the generator and any connected electric devices. The AC pilot light (green) will go off and the overload indicator light (red) will stay on, but the engine will not stop running.
When the overload indicator light comes on and power generation stops, proceed as follows: 1. Turn off any connected electric devices and stop
the engine. 2. Reduce the total wattage of connected electric
devices within the application range. 3. Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and
around the control unit. If any blockages are found, remove.
4. After checking, restart the engine.
NOTE: 9 The generator AC output automatically resets
when the engine is stopped and then restarted. 9 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 com- pressor or a submergible pump. However, this is not a malfunction.
