Connection

Before the generator can be connected to a build-ing’s electrical system, a licensed electrician mustinstall an isolation (transfer) switch in the build-ing’s main fuse box. The switch is the connectionpoint for generator power and allows selection ofgenerator or main line power to the building. Thiswill prevent the generator from charging the mainpower line (backfeeding) when the main powersupply has failed or has been turned off for linerepair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure linemaintenance personnel. Also, generator and build-ing electrical system damage can occur when nor-mal operating power returns if unit is used withoutan isolation switch.

WARNING

Extension cord notesExtension cords should be protected by a tough flexi-ble rubber sheath (IEC 245) or the equivalent to with-stand mechanical stresses.

G.F.C.I. receptacle

TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF ELECTRICALSHOCK:9 Do not attempt to operate electric devices if

the ground fault circuit interrupter reset buttonpops out repeatedly during use.

9 Test the ground fault circuit interrupter duringthe pre-operation checks according to themaintenance instructions on page 39.

9 Remember that only receptacle labeled “GFCI”have ground fault circuit interrupter protec-tion.

The G.F.C.I. (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) shutsoff power to the protected receptacles if a ground fault(electrical leak) is detected.If the reset button pops out, the electric devices con-nected into the receptacle may be faulty. If this hap-pens, check the electric devices carefully. If the elec-tric devices appears to be in good condition, press thereset button firmly until a click is heard. This willrestore power. If the reset button pops out again, dis-connect all the electric devices immediately. Have theelectric devices inspected and repaired by a qualifiedrepairperson before attempting to use them again.

WARNING

TIPThe economy control switch must be turned to “OFF”when using electric devices that require a large start-ing current, such as a compressor of a submersiblepump.

Overload indicator light (red)The overload indicator light comes on when an over-load of a connected electrical device is detected, theinverter control unit overheats, or the AC output volt-age rises. Then, the AC protector will trip, stoppingpower generation in order to protect the generator andany 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.

1 Overload indicator light

When the overload indicator light comes on and powergeneration stops, proceed as follows:1. Turn off any connected electric devices and stop

the engine.

2. Reduce the total wattage of connected electricdevices within the rated output.

3. Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet andaround the control unit. If any blockages arefound, remove them.

4. After checking, restart the engine.

TIPThe overload indicator light may come on for a fewseconds at first when using electric devices thatrequire a large starting current, such as a compressoror a submersible pump. However, this is not a mal-function.

Battery preparation(See page 37)

9 Electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous sinceit contains sulfuric acid, which causes severeburns. Avoid any contact with skin, eyes orclothing and always shield your eyes whenworking near batteries. In case of contact,administer the following FIRST AID.9 EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty of water.9 INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water or

milk and immediately call a physician.9 EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and

seek prompt medical attention.9 Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas.

Therefore, keep sparks, flames, cigarettes,etc., away from the battery and provide suffi-cient ventilation when charging it in anenclosed space.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK

If any item in the Pre-operation check is not work-ing properly, have it inspected and repaired beforeoperating the generator.

The condition of a generator is the owner's responsibil-ity. Vital components can start to deteriorate quicklyand unexpectedly, even if the generator is unused.

TIPPre-operation checks should be made each time thegenerator is used.

Pre-operation checkFuel (See page 15)9 Check fuel level in fuel tank.9 Refuel if necessary.

Fuel line9 Check fuel hose for crack or damage.9 Replace if necessary.

Engine oil (See page 16)9 Check oil level in engine.9 If necessary, add recommended oil to specified

level.9 Check generator for oil leakage.

The point where abnormality was recognized byuse9 Check operation.9 If necessary, consult a Yamaha dealer.

9 Do not overload. The total load of all electrical appliances must not exceedthe supply range of the generator. Overloading will damage the generator.

9 When supplying precision equipment, electronic controllers, PCs, electroniccomputers, microcomputer-based equipment or battery chargers, keep thegenerator a sufficient distance away to prevent electrical interference fromthe engine. Also ensure that electrical noise from the engine does not inter-fere with any other electrical devices located near the generator.

9 If the generator is to supply medical equipment, advice should first beobtained from the manufacturer, a medical professional or hospital.

9 Some electrical appliances or general-purpose electric motors have highstarting currents, and cannot therefore be used, even if they lie within thesupply ranges given in the above table. Consult the equipment manufacturerfor further advice.

BatteryThis generator is equipped with a VRLA (ValveRegulated Lead Acid) battery. There is no need tocheck the electrolyte or to add distilled water.

9 Electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous sinceit contains sulfuric acid, which causes severeburns. Avoid any contact with skin, eyes orclothing and always shield your eyes whenworking near batteries. In case of contact,administer the following FIRST AID.9 EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty of water.9 INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water or

milk and immediately call a physician.9 EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and

seek prompt medical attention.9 Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas.

Therefore, keep sparks, flames, cigarettes,etc., away from the battery and provide suffi-cient ventilation when charging it in anenclosed space.

9 KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTERIES OUT OF THEREACH OF CHILDREN.

To charge the batteryHave a Yamaha dealer charge the battery as soon aspossible if it seems to have discharged.

To charge a VRLA battery, a special (constant-volt-age) battery charger is required. Using a conven-tional battery charger will damage the battery. Ifyou do not have access to a constant-voltage bat-tery charger, have a Yamaha dealer charge yourbattery.
