CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board ("CARB") and Generac Corporation are pleased to explain the Emission Control System
Warranty on your new utility or lawn and garden equipment engine. In California, new utility and lawn and garden
equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Generac
Corporation will warrant the emission control system on your utility or lawn and garden equipment for the periods of time
listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your utility or
lawn and garden equipment engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system. Also included may
be the compression release system and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Generac Corporation will repair your utility or lawn and garden equipment engine at
no cost to you for diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER'S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:

Emissions control systems on 1995 and later model year utility and lawn and garden equipment engines are warranted for two
years as hereinafter noted. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is defective in materials
or workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by Generac Corporation.

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the utility or lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your owners manual. Generac Corporation recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your utility or lawn and garden equipment engine, but Generac Corporation will not deny warranty solely
due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to provide written evidence of the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the utility or lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you should, however, be aware that Generac Corporation may
deny you warranty coverage if your utility or lawn and garden equipment engine or a part thereof has failed due to abuse,
neglect , improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your utility or lawn and garden equipment engine to a Generac Corporation Authorized
Service Outlet as soon as a problem exists. 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 a Generac Corporation Authorized Service Outlet or by contacting
Generac Corporation at:

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 Corporation pursuant to California law. See also the Generac
Corporation Limited Warranties for Generac Corporation which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet and also is provided
to you by Generac Corporation. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. To the
extent that there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Generac Corporation Warranty, the ECS Warranty
shall apply except in any circumstances in which the Generac Corporation Warranty may provide a longer warranty period.
Both the ECS Warranty and the Generac Corporation Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to your
new engine.
Warranty service can only be performed by a Generac Corporation Authorized Service Outlet. At the time of requesting
warranty service, evidence must be presented of the date of the sale to the original purchaser. The purchaser shall pay any
charges for making service calls and/or for transporting the products to and from the place where the inspection and/or
warranty work is performed. The purchaser shall be responsible for any damage or loss incurred in connection with the
transportation of any engine or any part(s) thereof submitted for inspection and/or warranty work.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, YOU SHOULD CONTACT
GENERAC CORPORATION AT 1-800-222-3136.

A. Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year utility and lawn and garden equipment engines. The ECS Warranty
Period ("ECS Warranty Period") shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser and shall
begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser and shall continue for 24 consecutive months
thereafter.

B. General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac Corporation warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment
and to each subsequent purchaser that each of its utility and lawn and garden equipment engines is:
1. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board pursuant to its
authority, and
2. Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, will 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.
C. The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:
1. Any warranted, emissions-related parts which 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
Corporation according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
2. Any warranted, emissions-related part which 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 any remainder of the
ECS Warranty Period.
3. Any warranted, emissions-related part which 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 Corporation 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 Corporation Authorized Service Outlet.
5. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered by the ECS Warranty is in fact
defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a Generac Corporation Authorized Service Outlet.
6. Generac Corporation 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 Corporation 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 owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac Corporation ECS
warranty obligations.
9. Unapproved add-on modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a Generac Corporation engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty
and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Generac Corporation shall not be liable hereunder for failures of
any warranted parts of a Generac Corporation engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.

EMISSION RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Carburetor assembly and it's internal components. 3. Ignition system including:

With the exception of European Community Countries, all engines bound for export shall be warranted for one (1) year in
consumer applications, and 90 days in commercial applications as defined below.

NOTE: For the purpose of this warranty, “consumer use” means personal residential household use by original purchaser. This
does not apply to engines used in generators used for prime power in place of utility. “Commercial use” means all other uses,
including rental, construction and income producing purposes. Once an engine has experienced commercial use, it shall
thereafter be considered a commercial use for the purpose of this warranty.

DURING SAID WARRANTY PERIOD, GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS, INC. WILL, AT ITS OPTION, REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY PART
WHICH, UPON EXAMINATION BY GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS, INC. IS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE UNDER NORMAL USE AND
SERVICE. Starting batteries are not warranted by Generac Power Systems, Inc. All transportation costs under warranty,
including return to the factory if necessary, are borne by the purchaser and paid by him. This warranty does not include normal
maintenance and service and does not apply to engines or parts which have been subjected to improper or unauthorized
installation, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, over speeding, improper maintenance, improper repair or improper
storage so as, in Generac Power Systems, Inc.’s judgement, to adversely affect its performance and reliability.

NORMAL WEAR: As with all mechanical devices, the “GN” Series engines requires periodic service and parts replacement

WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. The duration of any implied warranties which cannot be disclaimed is limited to the time
period (one year) as specified in the expressed warranty. Liability for consequential, incidental, or special damages under any
and all warranties is excluded to the extent permitted by law. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, or the exclusions or limitations of consequential or incidental damages, so the limitations or exclusions do not
apply. This warranty provides the original purchaser specific legal rights and the original purchaser may also have other rights,
which vary state to state.

For service, please see your nearest Generac Power Systems, Inc. Authorized Service Dealer or call 414-544-4811. Warranty
service can only be performed by a Generac Power Systems, Inc. Authorized Service Dealer. This warranty does not apply to
service performed at any other facility or dealership. At the time of requesting warranty service, evidence of the original
purchase date must be presented.
