GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS “TWO YEAR” LIMITED WARRANTY FOR GUARDIAN

®

“12,500 WATT AND 15,000 WATT PORTABLE GENERATORS”

For a period of two years from the date of original sale, Generac Power Systems, Inc.

(Generac) warrants its Guardian 

generator will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the items and period set forth below. 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. Any equipment 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 prepaid by the purchaser/owner. This warranty applies only to Generac Guardian portable generators
and is not transferable.

WARRANTY SCHEDULE 

Consumer applications are warranted for 2 (two) years. Commercial applications are warranted for 1 (one) year. Rental applications are warranted for 90 (ninety) days.

CONSUMER APPLICATION

YEARS ONE and TWO

- 100% (one hundred percent) coverage on Labor and Part(s) listed (proof of purchase and maintenance is required):

Engine

- All Components 

Alternator

- All Components 

NOTE:

For the purpose of this warranty "consumer use" means personal residential household use by original purchaser. This does not apply to units used for Prime

Power in place of utility where utility power service normally exists. Once a generator has experienced commercial or rental use, it shall thereafter be considered a
non-consumer use generator for the purpose of this warranty.

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 portable generators that utilize non-Generac replacement parts.

•  Costs of normal maintenance and adjustments.

•  Failures caused by any contaminated fuels, oils or lack of proper oil levels.

•  Failures due, but not limited, to normal wear and tear, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or improper use. 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 consequential 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.
