GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS STANDARD LIMITED WARRANTY FOR

HOME STANDBY/LIGHT COMMERCIAL PRODUCT 45kW AND BELOW

For a period of two (2) years from the date of sale, or start-up by Authorized/Certified Generac Power Systems Dealer, or branch thereof, Generac 
Power Systems, Inc. will, at its option, repair or replace any part(s) which, upon examination, inspection, and testing by Generac Power Systems or 
an Authorized/Certified Generac Power Systems Dealer, or branch thereof,  is found to be defective under normal use and service, in accordance with 
the warranty schedule set forth below. Any equipment that the purchaser/owner claims to be defective must be examined by the nearest Authorized/ 
Certified Generac Power Systems Dealer, or branch thereof. This warranty applies only to Generac Power Systems Generators used in "Standby" 
applications, as Generac Power Systems, Inc. has defined Standby, provided said generator has been properly installed and inspected on-site by 
appropriate personnel. Scheduled maintenance, as outlined by the generator owner's manual, is highly recommended. This should be performed by 
an Authorized/Certified Generac Power Systems Dealer, or branch thereof. This will verify service has been performed on the unit throughout the 
warranty period.
