Judging from my experience I would not buy any generator made
in China or any generator that can not have a repair company locally
that can repair the generator if it malfunctions.
I know your pain. I have been trying to get my Red Maple dieselin China or any generator that can not have a repair company locally
that can repair the generator if it malfunctions.
generator replaced for over TWO YEARS. No success. The communists don't
give a rat's ass about you after you buy one.
DO NOT BUY CHINESE CRAP.
The Canadian Standards Association has done nothing to help me. I have
talked to them twice and have sent many emails.
It appears they are afraid of the commies. The CSA doesn't even seem too
worried about the COUNTERFEIT approval stickers being used on the faulty
generators.
What a scam.
