ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty
repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For
example, warranty service would not apply if equipment damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping,
handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the warranty is void if the manufacturing date or the serial number on the
portable generator has been removed or the equipment has been altered or modified. During the warranty period, the Authorized
Service Dealer, at its option, will repair or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to be defective under normal use and
service. This warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:

Normal Wear

: Outdoor Power Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. This

warranty does not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment.

Installation and Maintenance

: This warranty does not apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or

unauthorized installation or alteration and modification, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper
maintenance, repair or storage so as, in our judgment, to adversely affect its performance and reliability. This warranty also
does not cover normal maintenance such as air filters, adjustments, fuel system cleaning and obstruction (due to chemical,
dirt, carbon, lime, and so forth).

Other Exclusions

: This warranty excludes wear items such as o-rings, filters, etc., or malfunctions resulting from accidents,

abuse, modifications, alterations, or improper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration. Accessory parts such as starting
batteries, generator adapter cord sets and storage covers are excluded from the product warranty. This warranty excludes used,
reconditioned, and demonstration equipment, equipment used for prime power in place of utility power, equipment used in life
support applications, and failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers control.
