Connecting 120VaC Loads to the Generator

Calculate power Draw:
Power draw can be calculated by multiplying volts and amps. The resulting number is wattage. · Never exceed the running wattage for the Generator or any outlet amperage rating. · Refer to appliance/tool owner’s manuals to determine the wattage of electrical load devices. · Long power cords and extension cords draw additional power. Keep cord length at a minimum.
Wattage estimates
Wattages listed below are estimates for that type of equipment only. Check nameplate wattages on all loads before connecting to Generator.

emissions Control System Warranty

The California Air Resources Board, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Harbor Freight Tools (HFT) are pleased to explain the exhaust and evaporative emissions (“emissions”) control system warranty on your [Model Year] Small Off-Road Engine, in addition to the Retail Warranty above. In California, new equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. HFT must warrant the emissions control system on your small off-road engine for the period listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine leading to the failure of the emissions control system.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, HFT will repair your small offroad engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and labor.

ManuFaCTurer’S WarranTy COVeraGe
The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your small off-road engine is warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your small off-road engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by HFT.

OWner’S WarranTy reSpOnSiBiLiTieS

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner’s Manual. HFT recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but HFT cannot deny warranty coverage 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 HFT may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse (including failure to follow the fuel use instructions contained in this manual), neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a HFT distribution center or service center as soon as the problem exists in order to obtain warranty repair or replacement, by doing either of the following: (a) contact HFT product support at 1-888-866-5797 or productsupport@harborfreight.com; or (b) bring the engine to your nearest Harbor Freight Tools retail store. The nearest Harbor Freight Tools retail store can be found on the internet at http://www.harborfreight.com. The warranty repairs shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact HFT product support at 1-888-866-5797 or productsupport@harborfreight.com.

1. Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board; and
2. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.
c) The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
1. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced HFT according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
2. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2). A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall advise owners of the warranty coverage for emissions related parts. Replacement within the warranty period is covered by the warranty and will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
3. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions must 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 must be repaired or replaced by HFT. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
4. Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions must be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.
5. Notwithstanding the provisions herein, warranty services or repairs must be provided at all retail stores that are franchised to service the subject engine or by contacting HFT product support.

7. HFT is liable for damages to other engine components proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.
8. Throughout the emissions control system’s warranty period stated above, HFT must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts and must obtain additional parts if that supply is exhausted.
9. Manufacturer-approved replacement parts that do not increase the exhaust or evaporative emissions of the engine or emissions control system must be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of HFT.
10. Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts may be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. HFT will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
11. HFT issuing the warranty shall provide any documents that describe that warranty procedures or policies within five working days of request by the Executive Officer.
