EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1997 and later model year engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1997 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 EPA and CARB pursuant to
their respective authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a war-
ranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manu-
facturer’s application for certification.
(c) The ECS Warranty only pertains 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 the 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 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 proximately 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’s ECS Warranty obligations.
(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may 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.
