Service Dealer or branch thereof.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. SPECIFICALLY, GENERAC MAKES
NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
GENERAC’S ONLY LIABILITY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AS STATED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT
SHALL GENERAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE
A DIRECT RESULT OF GENERAC’S NEGLIGENCE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Purchaser/owner agrees to make no claims against
Generac based on negligence.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also may have other rights that vary from state to state.
