For a period of 10 years or 2000 hours (whichever occurs first)
from successful activation by an Authorized Champion Home
Standby Dealer, Champion Power Equipment will, at its option,
repair or replace any part(s) which upon examination, inspection
and testing by Champion Power Equipment or an Authorized
Champion Home Standby Dealer is found to be defective under
normal use and service, in accordance with the Warranty
Schedule set forth below.
Any equipment that the purchaser/owner claims to be defective
must be examined by the nearest Authorized/Certified Champion
Home Standby Service Dealer. This warranty applies only to
Champion Power Equipment automatic standby generators used
in "Standby" applications as Champion has defined Standby.
Scheduled Maintenance, as outlined by the generator owner's
manual is required. This Scheduled Maintenance should be
performed by a knowledgeable, experience operator or an
Authorized/Certified Champion Home Standby Service Dealer.
