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 contacting HFT 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 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 or replacement should 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.
GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser. The warranty period is two years.
b) 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 retail store or by HFT paying for shipping the product for repair.
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 at 1-888-866-5797 or productsupport@harborfreight.com.
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.
