Harbor Freight Tools Co. makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality 

and durability standards, and warrants to the original purchaser that for a period of one year from 

date of purchase that the tank is free of defects in materials and workmanship (90 days if used by 

a professional contractor or if used as rental equipment).  Harbor Freight Tools also warrants to 

the original purchaser, for a period of ninety days from date of purchase, that all other parts and 

components of the product are free from defects in materials and workmanship.  This warranty does 

not apply to damage due directly or indirectly to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or 

alterations outside our facilities, 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 IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND 

FITNESS.

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.
