OPERATION
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper grounding of
the unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING FASTENER
is provided on the generator end (Figure 6).
Grounding fastener
Fig. 6
Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding fastener
and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod
(electrode) provides adequate protection against elec-
trical shock. Be careful to keep the grounding wire
attached after connecting the stranded copper wire.
However, local codes may vary widely.
WARNING:
Consult with a local electrician for grounding
requirements in your area.
Properly grounding the generator helps prevent electrical
shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generator
or in connected electrical devices, especially when the
unit is equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding also
helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in
ungrounded devices.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), together with Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor
Products NA, Inc., are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your new model year small
off-road engines. In the United States (except California), new small off-road engines must be designed, built and

converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies. Where a
warrantable condition exists, Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. will repair your small off-road
engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The 2009 and later small off-road engines are warranted for two years. If any emission related part on your engine

OPERATOR’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance
listed in your operator’s manual. Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc.
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products
NA, Inc. may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA,
Inc. distribution center as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. at 1-800-849-1297
IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control
System Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc.
pursuant to EPA and federal law. See also the Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Limited
Warranties for additional product warranties, also provided to you by Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA,
Inc. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in

Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor
Products NA, Inc. Warranty describes important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.

II. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 2009 and later model engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 2009 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: Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. 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 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 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.
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

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
Operator’s Manual must 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
Operator’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 Husqvarna
Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. 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 Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Authorized Warranty Service
Facility.
(5) When the engine is inspected by a Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Authorized Warranty
Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.
(6) Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. 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, Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. shall maintain a
supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
(8) Any Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. 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 Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. 's ECS
Warranty obligations.
