Safety information

General safety information

• This generator is not designed for on-board use.	1
Do not use it while installed on the vehicle.

• Do not modify the generator or use it with its parts removed.

• Do not allow children to operate the generator.

• Be sure to carry the generator only by its carrying

1	handle.
	handle.
	1. Carrying handle

• Do not place any obstacles on the generator.

1-1

Safety information

Exhaust fumes are poisonous

• Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.

• NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

• Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

Fuel is highly flammable and poisonous

• Always turn off the engine when refuelling.

• Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.

• Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine or muffler when refueling.

• Do not leave the generator inside the vehicle or in the trunk.

• If you swallow any fuel, inhale fuel vapor, or allow any to get in your eye(s), see your doctor immediately. If any fuel spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change your clothes.

• When operating or transporting the generator, be sure it is kept upright. If it tilts, fuel may leak from the carburetor or fuel tank.

1-2

Safety information

Engine and muffler may be hot

•Place the generator in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch the machine.

•Avoid placing any flammable materials near the exhaust outlet during operation.

•In order to prevent overheating, ensure adequate airflow by keeping the machine at least 1 m (3 ft) from objects or other equipment.

•Do not operate the engine with a dust cover or other objects covering it.

•When covering the generator, be sure to do so only after the engine and muffler have completely cooled down.

Electric shock prevention

• Never operate the engine in rain or snow.

1-3

Safety information

•Never touch the generator with wet hands or electrical shock will occur.

• Connect the ground (earth) terminal to a ground

1source. In order to prevent electrical shock, the generator must be grounded when using an electrical device with a ground plug.

1. Ground (earth) terminal

Connection notes

•Avoid connecting the generator to commercial power outlet.

•Avoid connecting the generator in parallel with any other generator.

1.Correct

2.Incorrect

Connection

WARNING

Before the generator can be connected to a building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch in the building’s 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 supply has failed or has been turned off for line repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line maintenance personnel. Also, generator and building electrical system damage can occur when normal operating power returns if unit is used without an isolation switch.

Safety information

Extension cord notes

Extension cords should be protected by a tough flexible rubber sheath (IEC 245) or the equivalent to withstand mechanical stresses.

Controls and features

Control function

Engine switch

The engine switch controls the ignition system and the fuel cock.

1.Engine switch

2.“ ” (RUN)

3.“” (STOP)

TIP

The engine switch of this generator opens and closes the fuel cock simultaneously. You don’t need to operate the fuel cock separately.

“” (RUN)

Ignition circuit is switched on, and the fuel cock opens. The engine can be started.

“” (STOP)

Ignition circuit is switched off, and the fuel cock closes. The engine will not run.

Oil level warning light (Red)

When the oil level falls below the lower level, the oil level warning light flashes and then the engine stops automatically. If the light flashes, stop the engine immediately, and add engine oil up to the specified level.

Unless you refill with oil, the engine will not start again.

1. Oil level warning light (Red)

TIP

If the oil level warning light flashes even though the engine oil level is sufficient, make sure to place the generator horizontally.

AC switch (N.F.B.)

The AC switch (Non-Fuse Breaker) turns off automatically when the load exceeds the generator rated output.

1. AC switch (N.F.B.)

2-4

Controls and features

OFF

NOTICE

Reduce the load to the specified generator rated output if the AC switch (N.F.B.) turns off. If it turns off again, consult a Yamaha dealer.

Fuel tank cap

Remove the fuel tank cap by turning it counterclockwise.

1. Fuel tank cap

Ground (earth) terminal

Ground (earth) terminal connects the earth line for prevention of electric shock.

When the electric device is grounded, be sure to ground the generator, too.

For the grounding, consult a Yamaha dealer.

1. Ground (earth) terminal

Economy control switch

In order to reduce fuel consumption and operating noise, use the economy control switch.

1.Economy control switch

2.“ ” (ON)

3.“” (OFF)

“” (ON)

When the economy control switch is turned to “ ” (ON), the economy control unit regulates the engine speed according to the connected load. The results are better fuel consumption and less noise.

“” (OFF)

When the economy control switch is turned to “” (OFF), the engine runs at the rated speed (4900 r/min) regardless of whether a load is connected or not.

TIP

•The economy control switch must be turned to “” (OFF) when using electric devices that require a

large starting current, such as a compressor of a submersible pump.

•Economy control does not function when the generator is in warming-up period (See page 4-1).

Power supply display

The current power supply level is displayed by the output indicators. According to the power supply level, the output indicator(s) will come on.

1. Output indicator (Green)

Overload indicator light (Red)

The overload indicator light comes on when electricity over the rated output is required by the connected electrical devices, or when the inverter control unit overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. Then the AC protector will trip, stopping power generation in order to protect the generator and any connected electric devices.

1.Overload indicator light (Red)

2.Reset button

TIP

The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at the first when using electric devices that require a large starting current, such as a compressor of a submersible pump. However, this is not a malfunction.

Fuel tank cap air vent lever

The fuel tank cap is provided with an air vent lever to stop fuel flow.

The air vent lever must be turned to “ON” to run the engine.
