FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) are pleased to explain the
Emission Control System warranty on your new 2008 and later equipment. New equipment that use small spark-ignited engines
must be designed, built, and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards for the federal government. Generac will warrant
the emission control system on your generator for the period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect,
unapproved modification or improper maintenance of your equipment.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the: carburetor, ignition system, fuel system, catalytic converter, and other
associated emission-related components (if equipped).
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission control system is warranted for two years. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related part on your
equipment is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Generac
Authorized Warranty Service Dealer.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the generator owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied
Owner's Manual. For warranty purposes, Generac recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your
generator, but Generac cannot deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts.
As the generator owner, you should be aware that Generac may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your
generator, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications, or
the use of counterfeit and/or "grey market" parts not made, supplied or approved by Generac.
You are responsible for contacting a Generac Authorized Warranty Dealer as soon as a problem occurs. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer. To
locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer nearest you, call our toll free number:

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 federal 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. Note that this
warranty shall not apply to 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). 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.
The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new equipment. If there is any conflict in terms between the
ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the Generac Warranty shall apply. 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 the following
