This manual was written by the Yamaha Motor
Company primarily for use by Yamaha dealers
and their qualified mechanics. It is not possible
to put an entire mechanic’s education into one
manual, so it is assumed that persons using
this book to perform maintenance and repairs
on Yamaha generators have a basic understanding of the mechanical precepts and procedures inherent to generator repair
technology. Without such knowledge,
attempted repairs or service to this model may
render it unfit for use and/or unsafe.
Yamaha Motor Company Ltd. is continually
striving to further improve all models manufactured by Yamaha. Modifications and significant
changes in specifications or procedures will be
forwarded to all Authorized Yamaha dealers
and will, where applicable, appear in future
editions of this manual.
NOTE:
This Service Manual contains information
regarding periodic maintenance to the emission control system. Please read this material
carefully.
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
This material is distinguished by the following
notation.
The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS
INVOLVED!
WARNING
Failure to follow WARNING instructions could
result in severe injury or death to the machine
operator, a bystander, or a person inspecting
or repairing the machine.
CAUTION:
A CAUTION indicates special precautions that
must be taken to avoid damage to the
machine.
NOTE:
A NOTE provides key information to make procedures easier or clearer.

MANUAL FORMAT
The procedures in this manual are organized
in a sequential, step-by-step format. The information has been compiled to provide the
mechanic with an easy to read, handy reference that contains comprehensive explanations of all disassembly, repair, assembly, and
inspection operations.
In this revised format, the condition of a faulty
component will precede an arrow symbol and
the course of action required will follow the
symbol, e.g.,
•Bearings
Pitting/damage → Replace.
EXPLODED DIAGRAM
Each chapter provides exploded diagrams
before each disassembly section for ease in
identifying the correct disassembly and
assembly procedures.

PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION ON SERVICE
1. Fire prevention
When servicing the engine, always keep the engine and yourself
away from fire.
NOTES ON SERVICE
1. Correct tools
Be sure to use the correct special tool for the job to guard
against damage.
2. Oil, grease and seals
Be sure to use genuine Yamaha oils, grease and sealers, or the
equivalents.
INFO

3. Expendable parts
Always replace the gaskets, O-rings, cotter pins and circlips with
new parts when servicing engine.
4. Tightening torque
Be sure to follow torque specifications. When tightening bolts,
nuts or screws, start with the largest-diameter fastener and work
from an inner position to an outer position in a crisscross pattern.
5. Notes on disassembly and assembly
a. Parts should be cleaned in solvent and blown dry with com-
pressed air after disassembly.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS
We recommend the use of genuine Yamaha parts for all replacements. Use oil and/or grease, recommended by Yamaha, for
assembly and adjustment.
GASKETS, OIL SEALS, AND O-RINGS
1. All gaskets, seals, and O-rings should be replaced when an
engine is overhauled. All gaskets surfaces, oil seal lips, and Orings must be cleaned.
2. Properly oil all mating parts and bearings during reassembly.
Apply grease to the oil seal lips.
BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
Install the bearing(s) 1 and oil seal(s) 2 with their manufacture’s
marks or numbers facing outward. (In other words, the stamped letters must be on the side exposed to view.) When installing oil
seal(s), apply a light coating of light-weight lithium base grease to
the seal lip(s). Oil the bearings liberally when installing.
INFO
SVU1120
CAUTION:
Do not use compressed air to spin the bearings dry. This
causes damage to the bearing surfaces.

This chapter includes all information necessary to perform recommended inspections and adjustments. These preventive maintenance procedures, if followed, will ensure more reliable machine
operation and a longer service life. The need for costly overhaul work will be greatly reduced. This
information applies to machines already in service as well as new machines that are being prepared
for sale. All service technicians should be familiar with this entire chapter.
MAINTENANCE INTERVALS CHART (For Canada)
Proper periodic maintenance is important. Especially important are the maintenance services
related to emissions control. These controls not only function to ensure cleaner air but are also vital
to proper engine operation and maximum performance. In the following maintenance tables, the
services related to emissions control are indicated as “*” in the chart.

COMPRESSION PRESSURE
5. Measure:
• Compression
To measure the compression, set the
main switch to “START” “” or set it
to “ON” “” and pull the recoil starter
until the needle stops rising on the compression gauge.
Standard compression pressure:
400 ~ 600 kPa
(4 ~ 6 kg/cm
WARNING
To prevent sparking when cranking the
engine, ground the spark plug lead.
Testing steps (below minimum level):
• Squirt a few drops of oil into the cylinder.
• Measure the compression pressure again.

ReadingDiagnosis
If higher than
without oil
• Worn cylinder, piston, and
piston ring
• Defective piston, ring(s),
If the same as
without oil
valve(s), and cylinder
head gasket
• Improper valve timing and
valve clearance
Testing steps (above maximum level):
• Check the cylinder head, valve surfaces,
and piston crown for carbon deposits.
6. Install:
• Spark plug
• Spark plug cap
