related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, HFT will repair your

As the engine owner, you are responsible for the perfor-
mance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner's

ering 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 reasonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days.
