EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY
Honeywell Portable Generator
WARRANTY STATEMENT
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires manu-
facturers of small off-road engines (SORE) to warranty their
products with a 2 year warranty for those components that
are specified as being part of the emission control system.
Northshore Power Systems, LLC (NSP), the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) and the EPA offer the following
explanation of the Emission Control Warranty.
In the United States and California, new small off-road
engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet strin-
gent anti-smog standards. NSP must warrant the emission
control system on your small off-road engine for the periods
of time listed below provided there has been no abuse,
neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road
engine. The emissions warranty is a defects warranty and is
not related to an in-use emissions test.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and
the catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, NSP will repair your
small off-road engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis,
parts, and labor.
COVERAGE
Emissions control parts on the engine are warranted for a
period of two years, subject to provisions set below. If any
covered part on your engine is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by NSP.
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
You are responsible to maintain the engine as defined in your
Honeywell Generator Owner's Manual. NSP recommends
that you retain all records/receipts covering maintenance on
your engine, but NSP cannot deny warranty claims based on
the lack of receipts or for your failure to perform all scheduled
maintenance. You may be denied warranty coverage if a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications.
You are responsible to bring your portable generator to an
authorized NSP Honeywell generator dealer for repairs as
soon as a problem exists. Do not return your generator to
place of purchase for service. For emissions warranty ser-
vice, contact your nearest dealer; a listing is available at
www.honeywellgenerators.com or by calling 1-888-494-3571.

4. Repair or Replacement Cost. Repair or Replacement
Cost. Repair or replacement of any emissions control
part will be performed at no charge to the owner, includ-
ing diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that

erator dealer.

will extend to the failure of any engine components

6. Maintenance. The emissions control parts are war-
ranted only for defects during the warranty period. The
warranty does not cover an emission control part that is

schedule defined in the Honeywell Generator Owner's

formance and durability may be used for maintenance or
repairs.
