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 specified 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.

Post Office Box 6555 Cypress, California 90630 ­1­ 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 If your machine requires warranty service, you must take it to any authorized Yamaha generator dealer within the continental United States. Be sure to bring your warranty registration identification or other valid proof of the original date of purchase. If a question or problem arises regarding warranty, first contact the owner of the dealership. Since all warranty matters are handled at the dealer level, this person is in the best position to help you.
