TO QUALIFY FOR THIS WARRANTY:
The product must be purchased in the United States from a dealer authorized by GXi Outdoor Power, LLC to sell those products. This warranty applies to first retail pur-
chaser / owner during the applicable warranty time period. SAVE YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE RECEIPT.
WHAT DEK POWER EQUIPMENT WILL REPAIR OR REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY:
DEK will repair or replace, at its option, any part that is proven to be
defective in material or workmanship
under normal use during the applicable warranty time period
subject to the exclusions stated herein. This warranty is void if the owner fails to follow the prescribed maintenance and operating procedures described in this manual.
This specifically refers to ensuring routine oil changes are made, that fuel stabilizer is used for long-term storage, that the generator is not overloaded, and that the gen-
erator loads are distributed evenly between the A and B outlets. Dirty carburetors, spark plugs, air filters, fuel filters, and freight or handling damage are not covered
under warranty.
DEK has the right to recover warranty administration costs from the owner if the root cause of the malfunction was found to be other than defective material or workman-
ship. In particular, this warranty does not cover: contaminants in the fuel or oil; damage caused by not following the prescribed warnings and operating practices; failure
to follow proper maintenance and storage procedures; and physical damage due to shipping or handling or storage. Damage to the generator that occurs as a result of
connecting a DEK generator to household wiring without the use of a UL approved transfer switch device that is connected to the home or business and grounded as per
applicable local electrical codes, is not covered by this warranty.
Warranty repairs will be made without charge for parts and labor for the first year. After the first year, this limited warranty covers the costs of replacement parts only.
Anything replaced under warranty becomes the property of DEK. Parts replaced under warranty will be considered as part of the original product and any warranty on
those parts will expire coincident with the original product warranty.
TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:
You must take the DEK Power Equipment product, accessory, replacement part, apparel or the power equipment on which the accessory or replacement part is installed,
and proof of purchase, at your expense, to any DEK Power Equipment service location in the United States, who is authorized to service that product, during the service
location‟s normal business hours. If you are unable to obtain warranty service, or are dissatisfied with the warranty service you receive, take the following steps: First,
contact the manager of the service center involved; normally this will resolve the problem. However, if you should require further assistance, write or call the DEK Cus-
tomer Service.
EXCLUSIONS:

IN AN APPLICATION FOR WHICH THE PRODUCT WAS NOT DESIGNED OR ANY OTHER MISUSE, NEGLECT, INCORPORATION OR USE OF UNSUITABLE AT-
TACHMENTS OR PARTS, UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATION, OR ANY CAUSES OTHER THAN DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE PRODUCT.
Consumable parts such as oil, spark plugs, filters, carburetors, are not covered by this warranty.
DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE AND LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:
DEK DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF TIME OR USE OF THE PRODUCT, TRANSPORTATION, COMMERCIAL LOSS, OR ANY OTHER INCIDEN-
TAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTY.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emission control systems. The follow-
ing instructions and procedures must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your DEK engine within the emission standards. Maintenance, replacement, or
repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or individual, using parts that are „„certified‟‟ to EPA standards.
The emission control systems on your DEK engine were designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA regulations. We recommend the use of genuine DEK parts
whenever you have maintenance done. These original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of
their performance. The use of replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality may impair the effectiveness of your emission control system. A manufac-
turer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that the part will not adversely affect emission performance. The manufacturer or re-builder of the part must certify
that use of the part will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.
Emission controls are covered by this warranty for all uses for a period of 3 years from original retail purchase date, this coverage extends to subsequent owners of the
product with proof of original purchase.
