Harbor Freight Tools Co. makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality and du-
rability standards, and warrants to the original purchaser that for a period of ninety days from date of pur-
chase that the engine/motor, the belts (if so equipped), and the blades (if so equipped) are free of defects
in materials and workmanship. Harbor Freight Tools also warrants to the original purchaser, for a period of
one year from date of purchase, that all other parts and components of the product are free from defects
in materials and workmanship (90 days if used by a professional contractor or if used as rental equip-
ment). This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly, to misuse, abuse, negligence or
accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, 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 IM-
PLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.
To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with transportation

chandise. 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 replace-
ment. 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.

California and United States Emission Control Defects Warranty Statement
The California Air Resources Board (herein CARB), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (herein EPA), and Harbor Freight
Tools
(herein HFT) are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 995 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. Elsewhere
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.
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.
Harbor Freight Tools Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage

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 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 reason-
able amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
