As a Generac service dealer, I brought your generator problem to the
attention of Generac's managers. They had a couple of comments:<br>
1) The activation issue sounds like a misunderstanding. Activation is
only a data gathering process, I normally do it online (
<a href="https://www.activategen.com/">https://www.activategen.com/</a>
). There is no reason why you could not do it on behalf of the
customer.<br>
The activation reps do not handle service calls.<br><br>
2) The oil hose issue should have resulted in a shutdown which would have
been simple to remedy. There's no record of generators being damaged by
this issue. However, if this is what happened, Generac is very good about
warranty repair and would be very responsive. I would call the nearest
Generac dealer and let them file a warranty claim. It does not matter
that the generator was not purchased from the dealer, all dealers are
required to handle warranty for any generator as they get paid to repair
the units.<br>
Generac will advise the dealer how to proceed. You seem to indicate
Generac did not want to replace the unit but I also get the feeling no
tech has looked at the unit yet. You have to follow the process. Generac
will determine the best course of action once they know the
details.<br><br>
Feel free to pass on any issues you are having resolving this issue. I
can get the service manager involved if you feel you are not getting
adequate response but you do need to get a service dealer involved before
any repairs or replacements can be discussed.<br><br>
