2.2.1 AC, 20 AMP, DUPLEX RECEPTACLE

This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp push-to-

reset circuit breaker. Use each socket to power 120 Volt AC, single phase,

60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or

20 Amps of current. Use only high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded

cord sets rated for 125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).

Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 15 feet

long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of wires.

Figure 7 - 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle

2.2.2 120V AC, 20 AMP, GFCI RECEPTACLE

This unit is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). This

device meets applicable federal, state and local codes.

A GFCI receptacle is different from conventional receptacles. In the

event of a ground fault, a GFCI will trip and quickly stop the flow of

electricity to prevent serious injury.

Definition: Instead of following its normal safe path, electricity passes

through a persons body to reach the ground. For example, a defective

appliance can cause a ground fault.

A GFCI receptacle does NOTprotect against circuit overloads, short

circuits, or shocks. For example, electric shock can still occur if a person

touches charged electrical wires while standing on a non-conducting

surface, such as a wood floor.

Figure 8 - 120 VAC, 20 Amp GFCI Receptacle

2.3 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR

If you have any problems operating your generator, please call the

generator helpline at 1-800-333-1322.

2.3.1 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame

and external electrically conductive parts of this

generator be properly connected to an approved earth

ground.

Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of

the unit. For that purpose, generally, connecting a No. 10 AWG

(American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing nut

and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode)

provides adequate protection against electrical shock. However, local

codes may vary widely.

Consult with a local electrician for

grounding requirements in your area.

Figure 13 - Grounding the Generator

Proper grounding of the generator will help prevent

electrical shock

in the event of a ground fault condition in the

generator or in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also

helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded

devices.

2.3.2 CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS

DO NOT

connect 240 Volt loads to 120 Volt receptacles.

DO NOT

connect 3-phase loads to the generator.

DO NOT

connect 50 Hz

loads to the generator.

• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.

• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60

Hz electrical loads.

• Add up the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be connected at one

time. This total should not be greater than (a) the rated

wattage/amperage capacity of the generator or (b) circuit breaker

rating of the receptacle supplying the power. See "Don't Overload

the Generator" below.

2.4 DON’T OVERLOAD THE

GENERATOR

Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity can

result in damage to the generator and to connected electrical devices.

Observe the following to prevent overloading the unit:

• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be connected at

one time. This total should NOT be greater than the generator's

wattage capacity.

• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The rated

wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be found on a

data plate or decal affixed to the device.

• If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply volts

times ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).

• Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about three

times more watts of power for starting than for running. This surge of

power lasts only a few seconds when starting such motors. Make

sure you allow for this high starting wattage when selecting electrical

devices to connect to your generator:

1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.

2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected loads.

The Wattage Reference Guide on page 10 is provided to assist you in

determining how many items your generator can operate at one time.

(Note: All figures are approximate. See data plate on appliance for

wattage requirements.)

Commercial-Industrial-Residential Portable Generator System

2.6 BEFORE STARTING THE

GENERATOR

Prior to operating the generator, engine oil and gasoline will need to be

added, as follows:

2.6.1 ADDING ENGINE OIL

NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in

the future, use only high quality detergent oil rated

with API service classification SF or SG SAE 30

weight. Use no special additives.

Select the oil’s viscosity grade according to the expected operating

temperature.

Do not use SAE 10W-40.

• Above 40°F

, use SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30.

• Below 40°F,

use synthetic 5W-20 or 5W-30.

Although multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) improve starting in

cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil

consumption when used above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more

frequently to avoid possible damage from running low on oil.

• Place generator on a level surface.

• Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap and dipstick.

• Wipe dipstick clean.

• Slowly fill engine with oil through the oil fill opening until it reaches

the full mark on the dipstick. Stop filling occasionally to check oil

level. DO NOT OVERFILL.

• Install dipstick. Install oil fill cap and finger tighten securely.

• Check engine oil level before starting each time thereafter.

2.6.2 ADDING GASOLINE

 WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill

fuel tank when engine is running or hot. DO NOT

light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel

tank.

 Caution: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave

room for fuel expansion.

• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator engine. Do not

use premium gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. B

e careful not

to overfill.

Allow about 1/2" of tank space for fuel expansion, as

shown here.

• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

Figure 14 - Fuel Tank

MPORTANT:

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in

fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during

storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)

can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids

during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine

while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be

emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See "Storage" on page 18.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank as

permanent damage may occur.

2.7 TO START THE ENGINE

 WARNING!

Never start or stop engine with electrical devices

plugged into the receptacles AND devices turned on.

• Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before starting

the engine.

• Make sure the unit is in a level position.

• Open the fuel shut-off valve.

Figure 15 - Fuel Shut-off Valve

• Locate the Idle Control ON/OFF switch on the control panel and set it

to the “OFF” position.

• Move engine CHOKE knob to “Full Choke” position.

17 - Full Choke Position

• To start engine, press and hold the Start/Run/Stop switch in the

“Start” position. The engine will crank and attempt to start. When

the engine starts, release the switch to the run position.

• When the engine starts, move choke knob to “1/2 Choke” position until the

engine runs smoothly and then to “Run” position. If engine falters, move choke

knob to “1/2 Choke” position until the engine runs smoothly and then to “Run”

position.

Note: If engine fires, but does not continue to run,

move choke lever to “Full Choke” and repeat starting

instructions.

2.8 STOPPING THE ENGINE

• Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from generator

panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with electrical

devices plugged in and turned on.

• Turn “Off” the Idle Control switch (if on).

• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the internal

temperatures of engine and generator.

• Move Start/Run/Stop switch to “Off” position.

• Close fuel valve.

IMPORTANT

: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload

individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against

overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating of

any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical

output to that receptacle is lost. Read “Don’t Overload the Generator”

on page 9 carefully.

2.9 AUTOMATIC IDLE CONTROL

This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy. When this

switch is turned

“On,”

the engine will only run at its normal fast

governed engine speed when electrical load is connected. When the

load is removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With the switch

“Off,”

the engine runs at the normal fast engine speed all the time.

Always have the switch OFF when starting and

stopping the engine.

2.10 COLD WEATHER OPERATION/

DE-ICER

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40° F (4° C) and

a high dew point), the engine may experience icing of the carburetor

and/or the crankcase breather system. To eliminate this problem, this

generator engine is fitted with a winter/summer valve. this directs hot

air into the carburetor during cold weather operation. Always make sure

the winter/summer valve is in the correct location relative to the weather

conditions.

2.11 LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN

SYSTEM

The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor that shuts down

the engine automatically when the oil pressure drops below 10 psi. If

the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline,

check engine oil level.

2.11.1 INITIAL START-UP

A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows oil pressure to

build during starting. The delay allows the engine to run for about 10

seconds before sensing oil pressure.

2.11.2 SENSING LOW OIL PRESSURE

If the system senses low oil pressure during operation, the engine shuts

down.

2.11.3 RESTARTING

If you try to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it shuts down, the

engine may NOT start. The system needs 5 to 10 seconds to reset.

If you do restart the engine after such a shutdown and have not

corrected the low oil pressure, the engine runs for about 10 seconds as

described above and then stops.

Section 2 — Operation

Commercial-Industrial-Residential Portable Generator System

2.12 CHARGING A BATTERY

DANGER!

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas

while recharging. An explosive mixture will remain around the

battery for a long time after it has been charged. The slightest

spark can ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion. Such an

explosion can shatter the battery and cause blindness or other

serious injury.

 DANGER!

Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks or any

other source of heat around a battery. Wear protective goggles,

rubber apron and rubber gloves when working around a battery.

Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic sulfuric acid

solution that can cause severe burns. If spill occurs flush area with

clear water immediately.

Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged 12 Volt

automotive or utility style storage battery.

Do not use the unit to

charge any 6 Volt batteries. Do not use the unit to

crank an engine having a discharged battery.

To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:

• Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled

water to cover separators in battery cells.

Do not use tap

water.

• If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they are

installed and are tight.

• If necessary, clean battery terminals.

• Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel receptacle

identified by the words "12-VOLT D.C."

• Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to the positive

(+) battery terminal.

• Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to the

negative (-) battery terminal.

• Start engine. Let the engine run while battery recharges. Engine idle

control switch must be in off position for battery charging.

• When battery has charged, shut down engine.

Note: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery

state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer

manufacturer's instructions carefully. Generally, a

battery is considered to be at 100% state of charge

when specific gravity of its fluid (as measured by

hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.

3.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required when operating in adverse conditions noted below.

Operation Maintenance Daily Every Season Every Season Every Season

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

15

3.3 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty of the generator does not cover items that have been

subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the

warranty, the operator must maintain the generator as instructed in this

manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly

maintain the generator.

All adjustments in the Maintenance section (3) of this manual should be

made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the

"Maintenance Schedule" chart on page 14.

NOTE: Once a year you should replace the spark plug

and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean

air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your

engine run better and last longer.

3.3.1 GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry.

Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will not

be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors.

Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow,

leaves, or any other foreign material.

Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when dust,

dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on its exterior

surface.

 CAUTION!

Never insert any object or tool through the air cooling

slots, even if the engine is not running.

Note: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator.

Water can enter the engine fuel system and cause

problems. In addition, if water enters the generator

through cooling air slots, some water will be retained

in voids and crevices of the rotor and stator winding

insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator

internal windings will eventually decrease the

insulation resistance of these windings.

3.3.2 TO CLEAN THE GENERATOR

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

• A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.

• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and debris.

• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to blow away

dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the generator. These

openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.

3.3.3 ENGINE MAINTENANCE

DANGER!

When working on the generator, always disconnect

negative cable from battery. Also disconnect spark plug wires from

spark plug and keep wire away from spark plug.

3.3.4 CHECKING OIL LEVEL

See the “BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR” section on page 10

for information on checking the oil level. The oil level should be checked

before each use, or at least every eight hours of operation. Keep the oil

level maintained.

3.3.5 CHANGING THE OIL AND OIL FILTER

Change the oil and filter after the first eight hours of operation. Change

the oil every 100 hours thereafter. If you are running this unit under dirty

or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot weather, change the oil more

often.

Use the following instructions to change the oil while

the engine is still warm:

• Clean area around oil drain hose and plug.

• Remove oil drain plug from end of hose and oil fill plug to drain oil

completely into a suitable container.

• When oil has completely drained, install oil drain plug and tighten

securely.

• Place a suitable container beneath the oil filter and turn filter

counterclockwise to remove. Discard according to local regulations.

• Coat gasket of new filter with clean engine oil. Turn filter clockwise

until gasket contacts lightly with filter adapter. Then tighten an

additional 3/4 turn.

• Fill oil sump with recommended oil. (See “Before Starting the

Generator” on page 10 for oil recommendations).

• Wipe up any spilled oil.

3.3.6 REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG

Section 3 — Maintenance

Commercial-Industrial-Residential Portable Generator System

This

will help your engine start easier and run better.

1. Stop the engine and pull the spark plug wire off of the spark plug.

2. Clean the area around the spark plug and remove it from the

cylinder head.

3. Set the spark plug's gap to 0.76 mm (0.030 in.). Install the correctly

gapped spark plug into the cylinder head.

Figure 18 - Spark Plug Gap

3.4 SERVICE AIR CLEANER

Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged if you run it

using a dirty air cleaner. Clean or replace the air cleaner paper filter

once a year. Clean or replace more often if operating under dusty

conditions. Clean foam pre-cleaner every month or more often under

dusty conditions.

Figure 20 - Air Cleaner

To clean or replace foam pre-cleaner:

• Remove air cleaner cover, then foam pre-filter.

• Wash pre-cleaner in soapy water. Squeeze pre-filter dry in clean

cloth (DO NOT TWIST).

• Clean air cleaner cover before re-installing it.

To clean or replace paper air filter:

• Remove air cleaner cover; then remove foam pre-filter (service if

necessary) and remove paper filter.

• Clean paper filter by tapping it gently on a solid surface. If the filter

is too dirty, replace it with a new one. Dispose of the old filter

properly.

• Clean air cleaner cover then slip pre-cleaner over filter. Next insert

new paper filter into the base of the air cleaner. Re-install air cleaner

cover.

Note: To order a new air filter, please contact the

nearest authorized service center at 1-800-333-1322.

3.5 CLEAN SPARK ARRESTOR

SCREEN

The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrestor screen. Inspect and

clean the screen at least once each year. If unit is used regularly,

inspect and clean more often.

NOTE: If you use your generator on any forest-

covered, brush-covered or grass-covered unimproved

land, it must equipped with a spark arrestor. The spark

arrestor must be maintained in good condition by the

owner/operator.

Clean and inspect the spark arrestor as follows:

• Remove the screen retaining bracket by removing the screw.

• Slide the spark arrestor screen out from the tail pipe.

• Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or otherwise

damaged. DO NOT USE a defective screen. If screen is not

3.6 ADJUSTING VALVE CLEARANCE

After the first 50 hours of operation, you should adjust

the valve clearance in the engine.

Important:

If you feel uncomfortable about doing this procedure or

you don't have the proper tools, please take your generator in to the

nearest service center to have the valve clearance adjusted. This is a

very important step to insure longest life for your engine.

To adjust valve clearance:

• Make sure the engine is at room temperature.

• Make sure that the spark plug wire is removed from the spark plug

and out of the way.

• Remove the four screws attaching the valve cover with a #2 or #3

phillips screwdriver.

• Make sure the piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC) of its

compression stroke (both valves closed). To get the piston at TDC,

remove the intake screen at the front of the engine to gain access to

the flywheel nut. Use a large socket and socket wrench to rotate the

nut and hence the engine. While watching the piston through the

spark plug hole. The piston should move up and down. The piston

is at TDC when it is up as high as it can go.

• Loosen the rocker jam nut. Use an 10mm allen wrench to turn the

pivot ball stud while checking clearance between the rocker arm and

the valve stem with a feeler gauge. Correct clearance is 0.002-0.004

inch (0.05-0.1 mm).

NOTE: You must hold the rocker arm jam nut in place

as you turn the pivot ball stud.

When valve clearance is correct, hold the pivot ball stud in place with

the allen wrench and tighten the rocker arm jam nut. Tighten the jam nut

to 174 in/lbs. torque. After tightening the jam nut, recheck valve

clearance to make sure it did not change.

Figure 22 - Valve Clearance Adjustment

• Install new valve cover gasket.

• Re-attach the valve cover.

NOTE: Start all four screws before tightening or you

will not be able to get all the screws in place. Make

sure the valve cover gasket is in place.

• Re-attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.

• Repeat the process for the other cylinder.

3.7 GENERAL

The generator should be started at least once every seven days and be

allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and you must

store the unit for more than 30 days, use the following information as a

guide to prepare it for storage.

DANGER! NEVER store engine with fuel in tank

indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas

where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or

pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes

dryer or other gas appliance.

3.8 LONG TERM STORAGE

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel

system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage.

Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,

ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation

and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel

system of an engine while in

storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before

storage of 30 days or longer, as follows:

• Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank.

DANGER! Drain fuel into approved container

outdoors, away from open flame. Be sure engine is

cool. Do not smoke.

• Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel.

• While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with

recommended grade.

• Remove spark plugs and pour about 1/2 ounce

(15 ml) of engine oil into the cylinders. Cover spark plug hole with

rag. Press the “Start” button and allow engine to crank for 2

seconds. Then press the “Stop” button.

CAUTION! Avoid spray from spark plug holes

when cranking engine.

• Install and tighten spark plugs. Do not connect spark plug wires.

• Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air slots

and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.

• Store the unit in a clean, dry place.

3.9 OTHER STORAGE TIPS:

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt

in your gasoline will cause problems with the carburetor and fuel

system.

• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give protection

from dust and dirt.

BE SURE TO EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.

• If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the unit is to be stored

for some time, use a commercially available fuel stabilizer added to

the gasoline to increase the life of the gasoline.

• Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain

moisture.

DANGER! NEVER cover your generator while

engine and exhaust area are warm.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty),

which is provided to you by Generac pursuant to California law. See also the "Generac Limited Warranties for Generac Power Systems, Inc.," which

is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to you by Generac. The ECS Warranty applies

only

to the emission control system of your

new engine. If there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the ECS warranty shall apply except in

circumstances where the Generac Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty describe

important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.

Warranty service can be performed only by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evidence must be

presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Generac at one of the following addresses:

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Emission Control System Warranty (ECS warranty) for 2001 and later model year LSI engines:

(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is

purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.

(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent

purchaser/owner that each of its engines is...

(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the CARB pursuant to its authority, and

(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related part to fail to be

identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer's application for certification.

The ECS Warranty pertains only to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:

(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the

Owner's Manual

shall be warranted for the ECS

Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such

part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the

Owner's Manual

shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty

Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired

or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the

Owner's Manual

shall be warranted for the period of time

prior to first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Generac

according to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS

Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a Generac Authorized

Warranty Service Facility.

(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the purchaser/owner shall not be held responsible for diagnostic costs if the

repair is deemed warrantable.

(6) Generac shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications caused by a failure under warranty of any emission-related

part covered by the ECS Warranty.

(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Generac shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such

emission-related parts.

(8) Any Generac authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS warranty maintenance or repairs and will

be provided without charge to the purchaser/owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac RCS Warranty obligations.

(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or "grey market" parts nay not be used to modify or repair a Generac engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty

and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Generac shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Generac

engine caused by the use of such an unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or "grey market" part.

upon examination, inspection and testing by Generac or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer, is found to be defective. Any equipment that the

purchaser/owner claims to be defective must be returned to and examined by the nearest Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer. All transportation 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 Guardian portable generators

and is not transferable.

WARRANTY SCHEDULE

Consumer applications are warranted for 2 (two) years. Commercial applications are warranted for 1 (one) year. Rental applications are warranted for 90 (ninety) days.

CONSUMER APPLICATION

YEARS ONE and TWO -

100% (one hundred percent) coverage on Labor and Part(s) listed (proof of purchase and maintenance is required):

•Engine - All Components

•Alternator - All Components

NOTE:

For the purpose of this warranty "consumer use" means personal residential household use by original purchaser. This does not apply to units used for Prime

Power in place of utility where utility power service normally exists. Once a generator has experienced commercial or rental use, it shall thereafter be considered a

non-consumer use generator for the purpose of this warranty.

All warranty expense allowances are subject to the conditions defined in Generac's Warranty Policies, Procedures and Flat Rate Manual.

THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING:

•

Generac Guardian portable generators that utilize non-Generac replacement parts.

• Costs of normal maintenance and adjustments.

• Failures caused by any contaminated fuels, oils or lack of proper oil levels.

• Failures due, but not limited, to normal wear and tear, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or improper use. As with all mechanical devices, the Generac 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.

• Failures caused by any external cause or act of God, such as collision, theft, vandalism, riot or wars, nuclear holocaust, fire, freezing, lightning, earthquake,

windstorm, hail, volcanic eruption, water or flood, tornado or hurricane.

• Damage related to rodent infestation.

• Products that are modified or altered in a manner not authorized by Generac in writing.

• 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.

• Telephone, cellular phone, facsimile, internet access or other communication expenses.

• Living or travel expenses of person(s) performing service, except as specifically included within the terms of a specific unit warranty period.

• Overtime labor.

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.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also have other rights from state to state.
