About Your Warranty
Only authorized service dealers 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, warranty coverage will not
be provided if the manufacturing date or serial number(s)
on the equipment has been removed or the equipment
has been altered or modified. During the warranty period,
the authorized service dealership, at its option, will repair
or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to be
defective under normal use and service.
This warranty does not cover repairs due to:
1. Normal wear and maintenance. Outdoor power
equipment and engines, like all mechanical devices,
need 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. Typical
wear items include engine oil, oil gauges, o-rings, filters,
fuses, spark plugs, anti-freeze, starting batteries, etc.
Normal maintenance such as: adjustments, loose or
leaking clamps or connections, installation or start-up
operations, fuel system cleaning and obstruction due to
contamination.
2. Improper installation, operation, maintenance and
storage. This warranty does not apply to equipment
or parts that have been subjected to improper or
unauthorized installation, alteration and modification,
abuse, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading,
overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair, or storage
so as to adversely affect its performance and reliability.
3. Surface rust or corrosion of the enclosure or complete
rust-through that may result due to improper installation,
damage to painted surfaces that compromise the
paint’s corrosion prevention properties, or installation in
environments that expose the generator to high levels of
corrosive agents.
This warranty also does not cover:
1. Equipment used for prime power. For purposes of this
warranty, prime power is defined as application of the
