of  two  (2)  years  from  date  of  original  purchase.  Generators  used  for  Commercial  or  Rental  use  have  a 
warranty period of 90 days from date of original purchase. Keep purchase receipt and mail in the product

WEN® will repair or replace, at its discretion, any part that is proven to be defective in materials or work-
manship under normal use during the two (2) years warranty period. Warranty repairs or replacements will 
be made without charge for parts or labor. Parts replaced during warranty repairs will be considered as 
part of the original product and will have the same warranty period as the original product.

To exercise the warranty, DO NOT RETURN TO RETAILER. Instead, call the toll free Customer Service number

Place of purchase must be a direct vendor of Great Lakes Technologies, LLC. Third party vendors such as 
garage sales, pawn shops, resale shops, or any other secondhand merchant void the warranty included 
with this product.  Contact [email protected] or 1-800-232-1195 to make arrangements for 
repairs and transportation. 

When returning a product for warranty service, the shipping charges must be prepaid by the purchaser. 
The product must be shipped in its original container (or an equivalent), properly packed to withstand the 
hazards of shipment. The product must be fully insured with a copy of the warranty card and/or the proof 
of purchase enclosed. There must also be a description of the problem in order to help our repairs depart-
ment diagnose and fix the issue. Repairs will be made and the product will be returned and shipped back 
to the purchaser at no charge.

NOTE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO ACCESSORY ITEMS THAT WEAR OUT FROM REGULAR 
USAGE OVER TIME INCLUDING BELTS, BRUSHES, BLADES, ETC.

The warranty does not extend to generators damaged or affected by fuel contamination, accidents, ne-
glect, misuse, unauthorized alterations, use in an application for which the product was not designed and 
any other modifications or abuse. Labor for warranty parts is only covered for the contiguous United States

WEN® is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages from the sale or use of this prod-
uct. Any implied warranties are limited to two (2) years as stated in this written limited warranty. Some 
states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not 
allow limitation on the length of an implied warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you 
may have other rights that vary from state to state.
