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

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.

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
