Limited 90 Day Warranty (retail)
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 this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the
period of 90 days from the date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly,
to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper
installation, 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, EXCEPT FOR THE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY BELOW.
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. HFT also warrants that the emissions control system on your engine is
designed, built, and equipped so that it conforms to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) emissions requirements in effect at the time of manufacture.

The California Air Resources Board, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and
Harbor Freight Tools (HFT) are pleased to explain the exhaust and evaporative emissions (“emissions”) control
system warranty on your [Model Year] Small Off-Road Engine, in addition to the Retail Warranty above. In California,
new equipment that uses small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent
anti-smog standards. HFT must warrant that the emissions control system on your small off-road engine will be free
from defects in material and workmanship for the period listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect,
or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine leading to the failure of the emissions control system.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection
system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid fuel and fuel
vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps, and other associated components.
Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emissions-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, HFT will repair or replace, at our option,
your engine if at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and labor.
