Emissions Control System Warranty
In accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, Harbor Freight Tools (HFT) is pleased
to explain the emissions control system warranty on your Model Year 2024 engine/equipment in addition to the Retail
Warranty above. HFT warrants that the emissions control system on your engine is designed, built, and equipped so
that it conforms to the United States Environmental Protections Agency's (EPA) emissions requirements in effect at
the time of manufacture. HFT also warrants that the emissions control system on your engine will be free from defects
in material and workmanship for two (2) years, provided there has been no improper maintenance, misuse, or abuse
of your engine.
Your emissions 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 emissions-related assemblies.

your engine if it becomes defective, malfunctions, or otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use
