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.
