48RCLC-QS1 48kW Emergency Standby Power Generator

Your Kohler product has been manufactured and inspected with care by experienced craftsmen. Kohler Co. warrants, for the period indicated below, each product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. In the event of a defect in materials or workmanship, Kohler Co. will repair, replace, or make appropriate adjustment at Kohler Co.’s option if the product, upon Kohler Co.’s inspection, is found to be properly installed, maintained, and operated in accordance with Kohler Co.’s instruction manuals. The Warranty is transferrable as long as the generator set remains in the original location of startup.
Kohler Product
Generator set and factory-supplied accessories installed in the United States and used in stationary standby applications as a backup to a commercial utility source*
Warranty Coverage
Parts, labor and travel are covered for five (5) years from the registered startup date§ (or, if there is not a registered startup date, the date of purchase by the original end user) or 2000 hours (whichever occurs first).

For Canada, refer to Warranty Policy TP-7220. Outside the United States and Canada, refer to Warranty Policy TP-7152.
§ In order to have a registered startup date, a Kohler distributor, dealer, or authorized service representative must perform startup of your generator set and submit your generator set details to Kohler via Kohler Power Assistant.
The following will not be covered by the warranty:
1. Normal wear, routine maintenance, maintenance parts, adjustments, and periodic service.
2. Damage, including but not limited to damage caused by accidents, improper installation or handling, faulty repairs not performed by an authorized Kohler service representative, improper storage, or acts of God.
3. Enclosures and generator bases after the first year of the warranty period.
4. Cosmetic problems, discoloration, or rusting due to improper installation, location in a corrosive or saltwater environment, or scratches that compromise the integrity of the applied paint.

6. Damage caused by negligent maintenance such as:
  a. Failure to provide the specified type and sufficient quantity of lubricating oil.
