ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty
repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty service would not apply if
equipment damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the warranty
is void if the manufacturing date or the serial number on the equipment has been removed or the equipment has been altered or modified. During the warranty
period, the Authorized Service Dealer, at its option, will repair or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to be defective under normal use and
service. This warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:
• Normal Wear: Outdoor Power Equipment and engines, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. This warranty does
not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment.
• Installation and Maintenance: This warranty does not apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation or
alteration and modification, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as, in our judgment,
to adversely affect its performance and reliability. This warranty also does not cover normal maintenance such as adjustments, fuel system cleaning and
obstruction (due to chemical, dirt, carbon, lime, and so forth).
• Other Exclusions: This warranty excludes starting battery, accessory parts, wear items such as oil gauges, o-rings, filters, fuses, or spark plugs, etc.,
or damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations, or improper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration.
This warranty excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers control. And this warranty excludes used,
reconditioned, and demonstration equipment; equipment used for prime power in place of utility power, equipment used in mobile or rental applications,
and equipment used in life support applications.
Enclosure is warranted against surface rust and corrosion for the first year of the warranty period.
Surface rust and corrosion is defined as any rust or corrosion that has penetrated the paint but has not penetrated through the metal substructure.
Enclosure is warranted against rust-through for the first two years of the warranty period.
Rust-through is defined as rust or corrosion that has penetrated completely through the paint and metal substructure.
Enclosure is not warranted for surface rust or corrosion or complete rust-through that may result due to improper installation, damage to painted
surfaces that compromise the paint's corrosion prevention properties, or if the unit is installed in environments that expose the generator to high levels
of corrosive agents.
