control Defects Warranty Statement
The California Air Resources Board (herein CARB), the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (herein
EPA), and Harbor Freight Tools ® (herein HFT) are pleased
to explain the emission control system warranty on your
1995 and later Small Off-Road Engine (herein engine). In
California, the engine must be designed, built and equipped
to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Else-
where within the United States, new off-road, spark-ignition
engines certified for model year 1997 and later, must meet
similar standards set forth by the EPA. HFT must warrant
the emission control system on your engine for the periods
of time described below, provided there has been no abuse,
neglect or improper maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel-injection system, and the ignition system.
Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other
emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, HFT will repair your
engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and
labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty coverage
The 1995 and later engines are warranted for two (2) years.
If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the
part will be repaired or replaced by HFT.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
- As the engine owner, you are responsible for the per-
formance of the required maintenance listed in your
Owner’s Manual. HFT recommends that you retain
all receipts covering maintenance on your engine,
but HFT cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance.
- As the engine owner, you should, however, be aware
that HFT may deny you warranty coverage if your
engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, im-
proper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
- You are responsible for shipping your engine to a HFT
warranty station as soon as a problem exists. Contact
the HFT Customer Service department at the number
below to make shipping arrangements. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount
of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights
and responsibilities, you should contact the Harbor Freight
