SAFETY

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.

SETUp

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

c) The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
1. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written
instructions provided, is warranted for the warranty period stated above. If any such part fails
during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced HFT. Any such part
repaired or replaced under the warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
2. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions is
warranted for the warranty period stated above. A statement in the written instructions to the effect
of “repair or replace as necessary” does not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such
part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
3. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written
instructions will be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point
for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired
or replaced by HFT. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for
the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
4. Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty will be performed at no
charge to the owner at a retail store or by HFT paying for shipping the product for repair.

or by contacting HFT product support at 1-888-866-5797 or productsupport@harborfreight.com.

7. HFT is liable for damages to other engine components proximately
caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.
8. Throughout the emissions warranty period stated above, HFT will maintain a supply
of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
9. Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and will
be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of HFT.
10. Add-on or modified parts that are not approved by HFT may not be used. The use of any non-exempted
add-on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. HFT is not liable to warrant
failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
