Cypress, CA –  Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., announces the wireless QuickStart Remote Start Kit for Yamaha’s EF3000iSE and EF3000iSEB generators, allowing you to start and stop your generator from up to 75 feet away.  This new accessory is available from authorized Yamaha generator dealers nationwide starting early September 2007 and is compatible with all previous and current model year EF3000iSE and EF3000iSEB generators.

"We are excited to offer the QuickStart remote as an added benefit to our generator customers," said Colin Iwasa, power equipment sales manager at Yamaha. "Convenience, ease-of-use and installation is key when developing our products and the new remote could make our best-selling generator even more enjoyable."

Even on cold mornings, the easy-to-carry key fob transmitter allows fully automatic start-ups with the touch of a button by activating the choke. The function and integrity of the panel-mounted key switch is maintained, permitting local operation. 

The FCC-approved system uses encoded transmissions to prevent false operations from other remotes or signals. The standard system has a range of up to 75 feet; an optional external antenna is also available to extend the unobstructed range to as much as 300 feet away. 

Best of all, no additional modification is necessary, allowing the remote to be installed on all existing Yamaha EF3000iSE and EF3000iSEB generators. 

"I like this kit’s plug-and-play installation design – you don’t have to drill holes, cut or splice wires, it’s great," said Mr. Iwasa.  "The only tools you’ll need are a 10mm wrench and a Phillips screwdriver." 

The generator's wiring harness connects to the Start Kit and mounts securely inside the generator using an existing mounting bolt.

Yamaha’s wireless QuickStart Remote Start Kit retails for $430.95, and is backed by Yamaha’s warranty program.
