®

"PREPACKAGED EMERGENCY AUTOMATIC STANDBY GENERATORS"

For a period of two years from the date of original sale Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) will, at its option, repair or
replace any part which, upon examination, inspection and testing by Generac or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer,
is found to be defective under normal use and service, in accordance with the warranty schedule set forth below. Any equip-
ment that the purchaser/owner claims to be defective must be returned to and examined by the nearest Generac Authorized
Warranty Service Dealer. All transportation costs under the warranty, including return to the factory, are to be borne and pre-
paid by the purchaser/owner. This warranty applies only to Generac Guardian prepackaged emergency automatic standby gen-
erators sold and rated for use in "Standby" applications. 

WARRANTY SCHEDULE 

YEARS ONE and TWO

- 100% (one hundred percent) transferable coverage on Labor and Part(s) listed (proof of purchase and

maintenance is required): 
• Engine - All Components 
• Alternator - All Components 
• Transfer System - All Components 
All warranty expense allowances are subject to the conditions defined in Generac's Warranty Policies, Procedures and Flat Rate
Manual. 

THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING: 

• Generac Guardian generators that utilize non-Generac replacement parts.
• Any Generac Guardian generators used as rental or trailer mounted applications.
• Units used for prime power in place of existing utility power where utility power is present or in place of utility power where

utility power service does not normally exist.

• Costs of normal maintenance, adjustments, installation and start-up.
• Failures caused by any contaminated fuels, oils, coolants or lack of proper fluid amounts.
• Failures due, but not limited, to normal wear and tear, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or improper installation. As with

all mechanical devices, the Generac engines need periodic part(s) service and replacement to perform well. This warranty
will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part(s) or engine.

• Failures caused by any external cause or act of God, such as collision, theft, vandalism, riot or wars, nuclear holocaust, fire,

freezing, lightning, earthquake, windstorm, hail, volcanic eruption, water or flood, tornado or hurricane.

• Damage related to rodent infestation.
• Products that are modified or altered in a manner not authorized by Generac in writing.
• Any incidental, consequential or indirect damages caused by defects in materials or workmanship, or any delay in repair or

replacement of the defective part(s).

• Failure due to misapplication.
• Telephone, cellular phone, facsimile, internet access or other communication expenses.
• Living or travel expenses of person(s) performing service, except as specifically included within the terms of a specific unit

warranty period.

• Expenses related to "customer instruction" or troubleshooting where no manufacturing defect is found.
• Rental equipment used while warranty repairs are being performed.
• Overnight freight costs for replacement part(s).
• Overtime labor.
• Starting batteries, fuses, light bulbs and engine fluids.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. SPECIFICALLY, GENERAC MAKES
NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

GENERAC'S ONLY LIABILITY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PART(S) AS STATED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT
SHALL GENERAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE A
DIRECT RESULT OF GENERAC'S NEGLIGENCE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-
quential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also have other rights from state to state.
