Operate the engine in well ventilated areas only. Carbon Monoxide is
produced during operation and is deadly in a closed environment. Early
signs of Carbon Monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the engine may not be working
properly, or is being used indoors. Get fresh air immediately.
Avoid burns from the engine. Certain parts of the engine become very hot during
use. Do not touch the engine until it cools down after use.
Install this product on a proper surface. Locate on a flat, level, and solid surface that
is capable of supporting the weight of the engine and the machinery that it is turning.
Do not operate the engine with safety guards removed. While the engine is running, do not attempt to reach around the safety guards for maintenance or any other
reason.
If the engine is installed indoors, exhaust fumes must be piped out of the building using leak-free, heat-resistant piping. Pipes and silencer should not use any
flammable materials, nor should they be installed near the same. Engine exhaust fumes
should be within legal limits.
Engine fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Do not smoke,
or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine, fuel tanks,
or batteries. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple
ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
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 1995 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.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
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
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 1-800-444-3353.

2. No Charge Repair or Replacement
Repair or replacement of any warranted part will be
performed at no charge to the owner if the work is

Customer Service Department at 1-800-444-3353.
3. Consequential Damages Coverage

failure of any engine components caused by the failure
of any warranted part while it is still covered under this
warranty.

in performance of maintenance or repairs. The owner
is responsible for commissioning a qualified technician/

4. Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed in accordance with the
provisions of the HFT warranty policy explained in the box
at the top of the previous page. HFT shall not be liable for
any loss of use of the engine, for any alternative usage,
for any damage to goods, loss of time, or inconvenience.
Warranty coverage shall also be excluded for any part
which fails, malfunctions, or is damaged due to failure
to follow the maintenance and operating instructions set
forth in the Owner’s Manual including, but not limited
to:

(b) improper installation, adjustment or repair of the
engine or of any warranted part unless performed

regular inspection to the effect of “repair or replace as
necessary” are warranted for the warranty period. Any
warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance is warranted for the period of
time up to the first scheduled replacement point for that
part. Any replacement part, provided it is equivalent in
durability and performance, may be used in performance
of maintenance or repairs. The owner is responsible
for commissioning a qualified technician/mechanic to
perform all required maintenance, as outlined in the
Inspection, Cleaning, and Maintenance section on
page 17 of this manual.
