How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate the generator from the building via the transfer switch. Turn OFF the generator and lock out the main breaker if possible.
- Check main breaker: Locate the generator's main AC breaker and ensure it is in the ON position. Reset if tripped.
- Inspect terminal box: Open the alternator terminal box and check that all output cables are securely tightened to their lugs. Tighten any loose connections to the torque specified by Yamaha.
- Verify continuity to ATS: At the transfer switch, confirm that generator input cables are properly landed and tight.
- Replace faulty breaker: If the breaker will not reset or feels loose, replace it with the correct Yamaha-specified breaker.
