THIS ENGINE MEETS U.S. EPA EMISSION STANDARDS UNDER 40 CFR 1054.625 . 

 

The emission-related warranty is valid for two (2) years. Keep the purchase receipt and mail in the product registration card for proof of purchase.  

NB Corp limits emission-related warranty repairs to authorized service centers for owners located within 100 miles of an authorized service center. 
For owners located more than 100 miles from an authorized service center, NB Corp will, in its sole discretion, either pay for shipping costs to and 

from an authorized service center, provide for a service technician to come to the owner to make the warranty repair, or pay for the repair to be made 

at a local non-authorized service center. The provisions of this paragraph apply only for the contiguous states, excluding the states with high-altitude 

areas identified in 40 CFR part 1068, Appendix III. 
 

To exercise this warranty, DO NOT RETURN TO RETAILER. Instead, call Customer Service toll free at 1-866-460-9436 (email address 

info@buffalotools.com) and you will be instructed on where to take the engine for warranty service. Take the generator and proof of purchase (your 

receipt) to the repair facility recommended by the Customer Service Representative. The warranty does not extend to generators damaged or 
affected by fuel contamination, accidents, neglect, misuse, unauthorized alterations, use in an application for which the product was not designed 

and any other modifications or abuse.  

 

90 DAY LIMITED WARRANTY   

 

Generators are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 90 days from date of original purchase. NB Corp. is 

not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages from the sale or use of this product. Any implied warranties are limited to 90 days as 

stated, or as otherwise stated, in this written limited warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential 
damages. Some states do not allow limitation on the length of an implied warranty. NB Corp will repair or replace, at its discretion, any part that is 

proven to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use during the 90 day warranty period. Warranty repairs or replacements will be 

made without charge for parts or labor. Parts replaced during warranty repairs will be considered as part of the original product and will have the 

same warranty period as the original product.  
 

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary from state to state.
