LIMITED WARRANTY

Warranty Coverage: Powermate Corporation (the Company)

warrants to the original retail customer in North America that it
will repair or replace, free of charge, any parts found by the
Company or its authorized service representative to be
defective in material or workmanship. This warranty covers the
cost of replacement parts and labor for defects in material or
workmanship.

A. 120 Volt GFCI Receptacle

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter duplex receptacle is rated
so that a total of 20 amps may be drawn regardless of whether
both halves or just one receptacle is used. This receptacle may
be used along with other receptacles provided the generator is
not overloaded and total power drawn is kept within nameplate
ratings.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(Conforms to U.L 943, Class A and NEC requirements)
This device protects you against hazardous electrical shock
that may be caused if your body becomes a path through which
electricity travels to reach ground. This could happen when
you touch an appliance or cord that is “ live “ through faulty
mechanism, damp or worn insulation, etc.

B. 120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle

20 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the
receptacle. However, total power drawn must be kept within
nameplate ratings. These receptacles may be used along with
the twistlock receptacle provided the generator is not
overloaded.

C. 120/240 V, 20 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle

A maximum of 20 amps may be drawn from the 120/240
volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used.
However, current must be limited to the nameplate rating. If the
120/240 volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt
receptacle, the total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate
ratings.

D. Circuit Breakers

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If
the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs,
the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all
electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem
before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading
causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:

Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause
damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may

be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.

Not Covered:

· Transportation charges for sending the product to the

Company or its authorized service representative for
warranty service, or for shipping repaired or replacement
products back to the customer; these charges must be
borne by the customer.

· Engine is covered exclusively by a separate warranty from

the engine manufacturer, included with the engine Manual.

· Damages caused by abuse or accident, and the effects of

corrosion, erosion and normal wear and tear.

· Warranty is voided if the customer fails to install, maintain

and operate the product in accordance with the instructions
and recommendations of the Company set forth in the
owner's manual, or if the product is used as rental
equipment.

· The Company will not pay for repairs or adjustments to the

product, or for any costs or labor, performed without the
Company's prior authorization.

Warranty Period: Two (2) years from the date of purchase on
products used solely for consumer applications; if a product is
used for business or commercial applications, the warranty
period will be limited to one (1) year from the date of purchase.
For warranty service, the customer must provide dated proof of
purchase and must notify the Company within the warranty
period.

For warranty service: Call toll free 800-445-1805, or write
to Powermate Corporation, Product Services, 4970 Airport

Road, P. O. Box 6001, Kearney, NE 68848.

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS: THE COMPANY MAKES

NO OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED. IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY
DISCLAIMED. THE WARRANTY SERVICE DESCRIBED
ABOVE IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS
WARRANTY; LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL AND
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IS EXCLUDED TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states
do not allow a disclaimer of implied warranties, or the exclusion
or limitation of incidental and consequential damages, so the
above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.

Your generator is supplied with a 25 foot 12 GA SJTW
4-conductor 105ºC power cord set. This cord is equipped with
an L14-20P twistlock Plug, on one end, which will plug directly
into the mating twistlock receptacle on the control panel of your
generator. The opposite end comes equipped with a special 4
circuit connector comprised of four 5-20R receptacles. These
may be used to power individual loads. Make sure the loads

do not exceed the 20 amp rating of the Power Cord Set.

Circuit breaker protection is provided for on the control panel of
your generator.

You will notice that the 4-circuit connector is color coded
with red and blue dots. When several loads are powered at the
same time, it is best to keep equal loads supplied to each
separately colored half, if possible. The red half and the blue
half of the connector are each capable of sustaining 20 amps of
current provided your generator is capable of supplying 4800
watts of power. Check nameplate ratings for total wattage
capability of the generator.
