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.

to emission control parts defects, subject to the provisions 
set forth below. 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, 
improper 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 
Tools Customer Service Department at 1-800-444-3353.

damages arising from the use of our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental

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.
