Conversions & Switches |
|
|
|
Yamaha has made arrangements with two vendors to supply propane and natural gas
fuel conversion kits direct. Propane and Natural Gas have benefits over gasoline
in some applications. The use of propane may decrease the output of your generator.
Check with manufactures of the kits for details.
|
|
When used only to supply stand-by electricity,
the generator may not be used for months. Gasoline will deteriorate
and cause carburetor problems if the generator is not used or run
frequently or if the fuel is not drained before storage. If you are
using gas for your generator it is recommend to run it for 1hr each
month, under load if possible. In some applications propane or natural
gas would not affect the reliability of the generator during periods
of non-use.
|
|
|
Constant use for stand-by or primary power
requires frequent refueling. Many business and residential locations
have propane or natural gas service available that can be tapped into
the fuel the generator. Propane and Natural Gas conversion kits are
available for the models listed below. The kits are provided by the
manufacturers listed and are sold direct. Please note: A Tri-fuel
kit will allow the generator unit to still function on gasoline. In
addition, the unit will be able to use propane or natural gas as an
alternative fuel.

Contact these manufacturers for information regarding price,
installation, shipping etc. The use of these alternative fuel kits does
NOT void the factory warranty. However, failures or damage caused by
improper kit installation or adjustments, or ventilation for the generator
will not be covered by Yamaha's factory warranty. These are excellent
companies and we have found them to be very helpful.

Transfer Switches - Only use one transfer switch per generator
Most municipalities require a transfer switch when a generator is used
for backup power for any building or structure that is serviced by
municipal power. Equipment installation should comply with local
building codes and be performed by a licensed electrician.
