YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION U.S.A.
EF- AND EDL-SERIES GENERATOR LIMITED WARRANTY
Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. hereby warrants that new Yamaha consumer generators purchased from an authorized Yamaha consumer generator dealer in the continental United States will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the period of time stated herein, subject to certain stat­ed limitations.
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 conti­nental United States will be warranted against defects in material or work­manship for a period two (2) years from date of pur­chase, 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 Yamaha’s 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 product’s warranty period. All parts replaced under warranty become property of Yamaha Motor Corporation U.S.A.
GENERAL EXCLUSIONS from this warranty shall include any failures caused by: a. Installation of parts or accessories that are not
qualitatively equivalent to genuine Yamaha
parts. b. Abnormal strain, neglect, or abuse. c. Lack of proper maintenance. d. Accident or collision damage.
SPECIFIC EXCLUSIONS from this warranty shall include parts replaced due to normal wear or rou­tine maintenance.
THE CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY under this warranty shall be to:
1. Operate and maintain the generator as speci-
fied in the appropriate Owner’s Manual;
2. Give notice to an authorized Yamaha con­sumer generator dealer of any and all apparent defects within ten (10) days after discovery, and make the unit available at that time for inspection and repairs at such dealer’s place of business.
WARRANTY TRANSFER: To transfer the warranty from the original purchaser to any subsequent pur­chaser(s), it is imperative that the unit be inspected and registered for warranty by an authorized Yamaha consumer generator dealer. In order for this warranty to remain in effect, this inspection and registration must take place within ten (10) days after transfer. An inspection and registration fee will be charged for this service. In no case will the war­ranty be extended beyond the original period.
YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A. MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. ALL IMPLIED WAR­RANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHICH EXCEED THE OBLIGATIONS AND TIME LIMITS STATED IN THIS WARRANTY ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. ALSO EXCLUDED FROM THIS WARRANTY ARE ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAM­AGES INCLUDING LOSS OF USE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. What costs are my responsibility during the
warranty period?
A. The customer’s 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 anoth­er part to fail; and so on. If you have any spe­cific 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 Owner’s Manual instead of having the dealer do them?
A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow
the procedures specified in the Owner’s 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 Owner’s 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 Owner’s 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 war­ranty 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.
CUSTOMER SERVICE

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

CONNECTION

1
w
Before the generator can be connected to a build­ings electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch in the build­ings main fuse box. The switch is the connection
2
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-
741-104
ply 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.
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.
