owner’s warranty responsibilities
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance
•
of the required maintenance listed in your Owner’s Manual.
HFT recommends that you retain all receipts covering main-
tenance 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 war-
•
ranty 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.
