LIMITED WARRANTY

FOR PORTABLE GENERATORS

(EXCEPT GN ENGINE SERIES)

Generac Portable Products (hereafter referred to as the COMPANY) warrants to the original purchaser that its

generator will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one year* from the date of original

purchase. This warranty does not apply to units used for prime power in place of utility. This warranty does not

include the gasoline engine when furnished or attached because such engine is covered solely by the warranty of

the manufacturer of the engine. Starting batteries are not warranted by the COMPANY.

*NOTE:

Rental units, demonstrators, commercial applications, such as construction or income producing, are

warranted for 90 days. Rental units, demonstrators, or commercial applications such as construction or utility

which are resold are not covered under warranty by the COMPANY. Any warranty, whether expressed or implied,

rests solely with the seller.

During said warranty period, the COMPANY will, at its option, repair or replace any part which, upon examination

by the COMPANY is found to be defective under normal use and service. All transportation costs under warranty,

including return to the factory if necessary, are to be borne by the purchaser and prepaid by the purchaser. This

warranty does not include nominal maintenance and service and does not apply to a generator set, or parts,

which have been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading,

overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as, in the COMPANY's judgment, to adversely affect

its performance and reliability.

THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY. THE COMPANY 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 INCIDENTAL,

CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES IS

EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY ALSO DISCLAIMS ANY

RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUCH AS THE LOSS OF

TIME OR THE USE OF THE POWER EQUIPMENT, OR ANY COMMERCIAL LOSS DUE TO THE

FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT; AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE

DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusions or limitations 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.

This warranty is effective for all products manufactured after June, 1998, and supersedes all prior warranties of

the COMPANY.

For service, contact your nearest COMPANY authorized warranty service facility or call 1-877-544-0982.

Warranty service can only be performed by a COMPANY authorized service facility. At the time of requesting

warranty service, evidence of original purchase date must be presented.
