Safety Information

General Safety Information This generator is not designed for on-board use.

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. Do not place any obstacles on the generator.

Exhaust Fumes are Poisonous Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MIN-

UTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monox- ide. 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 with engine exhaust directed away from any structures.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning CO gas is toxic and can cause serious injury or

death. Get fresh air and seek medical care immediately, if

you are suspected to be inhaled carbon monoxide. Early symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure

include headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nau- sea, and dizziness and so on. Continued exposure to carbon monoxide can cause loss of muscular coordi- nation, loss of consciousness, and then result in death.

This generator is equipped with the CO SENSOR system that automatically stops the engine before the surrounding carbon monoxide concentration increases to a dangerous concentration.

Do not remove or modify the CO SENSOR system. Make sure that the CO SENSOR system works cor-

rectly. The CO SENSOR cannot prevent all danger associ-

ated with or caused by carbon monoxide. Pay careful attention to the location of the generator.

If the CO SENSOR stopped the generator, relocate the generator and address symptoms of carbon

7PC-F8199-13.book 1

1-2

Safety Information

monoxide poisoning prior to restart the generator. Install battery-operated or plug-in carbon monoxide

alarms to alert you to potentially dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in accordance with the alarms instructions.

Fuel is Highly Flammable and Poison- ous 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 muf-

fler 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.

Engine and Muffler May be Hot Place the generator in a place where pedestrians or

children are not likely to touch the generator. Avoid placing any flammable materials near the

exhaust outlet during operation. In order to prevent overheating, ensure adequate air-

flow by keeping the generator 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. Never touch the generator with wet hands or electri-

cal shock will occur. When the connected electric device is grounded

7PC-F8199-13.book 2

1-3

Safety Information

(earthed), always ground (earth) the generator. Connect the ground (earth) terminal to a ground

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

Connection Notes Avoid connecting the generator to commercial power

outlet. Avoid connecting the generator in parallel with any

other generator.

Connection

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

1. Correct

2. Incorrect

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 supply has failed or has been turned off for line repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line maintenance personnel. Also, generator and build- ing electrical system damage can occur when nor- mal operating power returns if unit is used without an isolation switch.

Be careful when using recoil starter. In rare cases, the recoil starter handle can be drawn back quickly by the engine kickback.

Pull the recoil starter handle straight out. Pulling at an angle could damage the recoil starter rope or other generator parts.

Do not allow the starter handle and rope to snap back after starting; return it gently to its original place. Letting go of the handle while the starter rope is extended will allow the recoil starter to rewind rapidly, which can cause damage to the generator.

Grasp the carrying handle firmly to prevent the generator from falling over when pulling the recoil starter.

6. When pulling the recoil starter handle, make sure that both the red and orange indicators are flash- ing.

7. After the engine starts, warm up the engine until the engine does not stop when the choke knob is returned to the original position.

TIP When starting the engine, with the economy control switch (ON), and there is no load on the generator: In ambient temperature below 0 C (32 F), the

engine will run at the rated r/min (4900 r/min) for 5 minutes to warm up the engine.

In ambient temperature below 5 C (41 F), the engine will run at the 4900 r/min for 3 minutes to warm up the engine.

The economy control unit operates normally after the above time period, while the economy control switch is (ON).

Stopping The Engine

TIP After the engine is stopped the engine cannot be restarted for approximately 15 seconds.

1. Turn off any electric devices.

2. Turn the economy control switch to (OFF), if necessary.

If either of them does not flash, consult a Yamaha dealer since the CO SENSOR system is most likely malfunctioning.

Operation

High Altitude Operation This engine may require a high altitude carburetor kit to ensure correct engine operation at altitudes above 4000 ft. (1219 meters). If you operate your engine at altitudes above 4000 ft. (1219 meters) consistently, have your local Yamaha dealer perform the neces- sary carburetor modification. This engine should be operated in its original configuration below 4000 ft. (1219 meters) as damage may occur if high altitude carburetor kit is installed and operated below 4000 ft. (1219 meters).

Do not overload. The total load of all electrical appliances must not exceed the total supply range of both AC and DC of the generator. Overloading could result in damage to the generator.

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

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

Some electrical appliances or general-purpose electric motors have high start- ing currents, that may exceed the boost mode on your Yamaha generator. Con- sult the equipment manufacturer for further advice.

Storage

Engine Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, pis- ton ring, etc. from corrosion. 1. Remove the spark plug, pour about one table-

spoon of engine oil (See page 5-3) into the spark plug hole and install and tighten the spark plug to the specified torque. Recoil start the engine by turning over several times (with ignition off) to coat the cylinder walls with oil.

2. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression. Then stop pulling. (This prevents the cylinder and valves from rusting).

3. Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust inhibitor.

4. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place, with the cover placed over it.

5. The generator must remain in a vertical position when stored, carried or operated.

Do not spray any organic solvent on the CO SEN- SOR.

Do not use a plastic cover as a dust cover. Rust and corrosion will occur since a non porous cover will trap moisture around the engine. Besides, the CO SENSOR reacts to HC (hydrocar- bon) contained in gasoline, reducing its sensitivity. Therefore, if the generator is stored in an airtight cover, such as a plastic cover, the gasoline remain- ing in the generator will vaporize and fill with HC, reducing the sensitivity of the CO SENSOR.
