period of 90 days from the date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to
damage due directly or indirectly, to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents,
repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper
installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall in no
event be liable for death, injuries to persons or property, or for incidental,
contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of our
product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclusion may not apply to
you. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR

THE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY BELOW.
To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us
with transportation charges prepaid. Proof of purchase date and an explanation
of the complaint must accompany the merchandise. If our inspection verifies
the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election or we
may elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly
provide you with a replacement. We will return repaired products at our
expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted
from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost
of returning the product.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
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 [email protected]; 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 [email protected].

a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser.
b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage HFT warrants to the ultimate owner and
each subsequent owner that the engine or equipment is:
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.
6. The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the
determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that such
diagnostic work is performed at a retail store.
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
