Tips To Remember - Yamaha EF2000iSv2 Manual

Tips to remember
• Do not exceed the rated output of the generators – see the owner's manual for rated
output
• The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at first when using electric
devices that require a large starting current, such as an air conditioning unit or air
compressor
• The higher the elevation, the less oxygen in the atmosphere and can cause the generator
to not run as efficiently. Re‐jet the carburetor if necessary.
• Hidden/vampire loads –
• There are numerous electronic devices and equipment in your RV that can drain the coach battery
when you're not using the RV. Some examples are; the TV antenna booster, the LP gas leak
detector, clocks in radios, or just leaving a 12‐volt light on by accident. If your RV is not equipped
with a battery disconnect switch you can purchase a battery disconnect, from an RV dealer, that
can be installed directly on the battery post. When you aren't using the RV or have no
requirement for the coach battery you simply raise a lever and disconnect the battery. A battery
disconnect can be installed on the chassis battery too.
• Use a AMWatt meter to see what loads are being drawn even before connecting the
generators to the RV
