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 XP Series portable generators and is not transferable from original purchaser. Save your proof-of-purchase receipt. If you do not 
provide proof of the initial purchase date, the manufacturer’s shipping date of the product will be used to determine the warranty period.

NOTE:

   For the purpose of this warranty “consumer use” means personal residential household or recreational use by original purchaser. This warranty does not apply to 

units used for Prime Power in place of utility where utility power service is present or where utility power service does not normally exist. 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.

Generac 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.

• 

Repairs or diagnostics performed by individuals other than Guardian/Generac authorized dealers not authorized in writing by Generac Power Systems.

• 

 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 as designed. This warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part(s) or engine.

Failures caused by any act of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufactures control.

• 

Damage related to rodent and/or insect infestation.

• 

Products that are modified or altered in a manner not authorized by Generac in writing.

THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Any implied warranties which are allowed by law, shall be limited in duration to the terms of the express 
warranty provided herein. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to purchaser/owner.

GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS ONLY LIABILITY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PART(S) AS STATED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT SHALL GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS 
BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS, INC. NEGLIGENCE. 
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to purchaser/owner. Purchaser/owner 
agrees to make no claims against Generac Power Systems, Inc. based on negligence. This warranty gives purchaser/owner specific legal rights. Purchaser/owner also may 
have other rights that vary from state to state.
