LIMITED WARRANTY FOR DELUXE PORTABLE GENERATORS
SEARS warrants to the original purchaser that the alternator and engine for its portable generator will be free
from defects in materials or workmanship for the items and period set forth below from the date of original
purchase. This warranty is not transferable and applies only to portable generators driven by the GN-Series
Sears warranted engine.
CONSUMER* COMMERCIAL*
Alternator 2 years (2nd year parts only) 1 year
Engine 2 years (2nd year parts only) 1 year

NOTE
: For the purpose of this warranty “Consumer Use” means personal residential household and
emergency use by original purchaser, not to be used as a primary source of power. “Commercial Use” means all
other uses, including rental, construction, commercial, and income producing purposes. Once a generator has
experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered a commercial use generator for the purpose of
this warranty.
During said warranty period, SEARS will, at its option, repair or replace any part which, upon examination by
SEARS, is found to be defective under normal use and service**. Starting batteries are not warranted by
SEARS. All transportation costs under warranty, including return to the factory if necessary, are to be borne by
the purchaser and prepaid by him. This warranty does not cover normal maintenance and service and does not
apply to a generator set, alternator or engine, or parts which have been subjected to improper or unauthorized
installation or alteration, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair
or storage so as, in SEARS’s judgment, to adversely affect its performance and reliability.
**
NORMAL WEAR
: As with all mechanical devices, engines need periodic parts service and replacement to
perform well. This warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or engine.
THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY. SEARS HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE DURATION
OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED IS LIMITED TO THE TIME
PERIOD AS SPECIFIED IN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES IS EXCLUDED.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
For service, see your nearest SEARS authorized warranty service facility. Warranty service can be performed
only by a SEARS authorized service facility. This warranty will not apply to service at any other facility. At the
time of requesting warranty service, evidence of original purchase date must be presented.
