Harbor Freight Tools Emission Control Defects
Warranty Coverage
Engines are warranted for a period of two (2) years relative to
emission control parts defects, subject to the provisions set forth below.
If any emission related part on your engine is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by HFT.
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
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 1-800-520-0882.
