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. Scheduled maintenance, as outlined by the generators owners 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.
