For a period of 3 (three) years or 2,000 (two thousand) hours of operation from the date of original sale, whichever occurs
first, Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) will, at its option, repair or replace any part which, upon examination, inspec-
tion and testing by Generac or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility, is found to be defective under normal use
and service, in accordance with the warranty schedule set forth below. Any equipment that the purchaser/owner claims to
be defective must be returned to and examined by the nearest Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. All trans-
portation costs under the warranty, including return to the factory, are to be borne and prepaid by the purchaser/owner.
This warranty applies only to Generac generators sold and rated for “Recreational Vehicle” (RV) applications, as Generac

original purchaser/owner, of a completed Warranty Registration Card. This card is the only valid registration identification
and must be presented at time of request for warranty service. Claims will not be accepted without presentation of the
Warranty Registration Card. The factory recommends exercising the unit one half-hour every season.

THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING:
• Costs of normal maintenance, adjustments, installation and start-up.
• Failures caused by any contaminated fuels or oils.
• Failures due, but not limited, to normal wear and tear, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or improper installation. As
with all mechanical devices, the GN-Series engines need periodic part(s) service and replacement to perform well. This
warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part(s) or engine.

fire, freezing, lightning, earthquake, windstorm, hail, volcanic eruption, water or flood, tornado or hurricane.

• Any incidental, consequential or indirect damages caused by defects in materials or workmanship, or any delay in repair
or replacement of the defective part(s).
• Failure due to misapplication.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. SPECIFICALLY, GENERAC
MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO THE 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 PART(S) 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.
