Yamaha EF1000A Owner's Manual page 7

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 prop-
er maintenance; operating the machine with
a broken or damaged
another part to fail; and so on. If you have
any specific questions on operation or main-
tenance, 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 fol-
low 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 fail-
ure 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 satisfac-
tion 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.
