Freight Tools® (herein HFT) are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 1995 and later Small Off-Road

meet similar standards set forth by the EPA. HFT must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time

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.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities

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.
