defeCTs waRRanTy ReQuiReMenTs

(a)  The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.

(b) 

General Emissions Warranty Coverage.

 The Generac Power Systems of each small off-road engine or equipment must 

warrant to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent owner that the engine or equipment is:

(1)  Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board; 

and

(2)  Free  from  defects  in  materials  and  workmanship  that  causes  the  failure  of  a  warranted  part  for  a  period  of  two 

years.

(c)  The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows:

(1)  Any  warranted  part  that  is  not  scheduled  for  replacement  as  required  maintenance  in  the  written  instructions 

required  by  subsection  (d)  must  be  warranted  for  the  warranty  period  defined  in  Subsection  (b)(2).    If  any  such 

part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer according to 

Subsection (4) below.  Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for the remaining 

warranty period.  

(2)  Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions required by subsection (d) 

must be warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2).  A statement in such written instructions to 

the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” will not reduce the period of warranty coverage.  Any such part repaired 

or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
