9. WARRANTY AND CONSUMER INFORMATION 

POWERHOUSE® GENERATOR WARRANTY 

Generators are covered by this warranty from the date of original retail purchase for a period of 1 year for 
residential use and 6 months for commercial applications. Units used in rental fleets, reconditioned or as 
demonstration models will be considered commercial usage. The warranty coverage is continual from the original 
date of purchase, and does not restart upon the replacement of any part or complete unit. Individual parts 
replaced at any point during the warranty period are only eligible for warranty coverage for the balance of the 
original warranty period. 

Eligibility 

To be eligible for warranty replacement, the product must be purchased in the United States or Canada from an 
authorized Coast Distribution dealer. This warranty applies to the original retail purchaser only, and is not 
transferable. Proof of purchase and the serial number is required. 

Coverage 

Pre-approved parts and labor costs will be covered by POWERHOUSE® for any failure that is proven to be a 
failure in material or workmanship under normal use during the applicable warranty time period. This coverage is 
limited to parts, labor and ground shipping of repair parts. It is the responsibility of the end user to return the 
product to the nearest authorized repair center as directed by the warranty administration center. If in the event 
that the generator is deemed to be not repairable or the necessary repair would be economically unfeasible, the 
warranty department will authorize its prepaid return to the nearest Coast Distribution location and Coast will 
prepay the returned shipping to the dealer, repair center or consumer. The Coast Distribution System, Inc. 
reserves the right to repair or replace any part or unit at its option. The Coast Distribution System, Inc. may 
request defective parts to be returned. Anything replaced under warranty becomes the property of The Coast 
Distribution system, Inc.
