them handle machines, tools, or extension cords. Children must never be allowed to  
operate the Engine or be in the work area when the Engine is in operation.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
store idle equipment. When not in use, the Engine must be stored in a dry location  
to inhibit rust. Always lock it up and keep out of reach of children.  
dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving  
parts. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.  
use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force the Engine to do the work of  
a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this equipment was  
designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.  
Do not modify the Engine or use it for a purpose for which it was not intended.  
7.  
use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles and  
ear plugs when using the Engine.  
8.

Maintain the engine with care. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing ac-  
cessories.  
10.  
11.  
12.  
remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that all keys and adjusting wrenches  
are removed from the Engine before starting.  
Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the power switch and Fuel Valve are in the Off  
position when not in use.  
check for damaged parts. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts;any broken  
parts or mounting fixtures;and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any  
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.  
Do not use the Gas Engine if the switch does not turn On and Off properly.  
13.  
do not operate the engine while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol,

fire hazard! Do not fill Fuel tank when the engine is running. Do not operate if  
gasoline has been spilled. Clean spilled gasoline before starting the Engine and dis-  
pose of cleaning materials in a ventilated metal container. Do not operate near a pilot  
light or open flame.  
Operate the engine in well ventilated areas only. Carbon Monoxide is produced dur-  
ing 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  
symptoms the engine may not be working properly, or it is being utilized with too little  
ventilation in the work area. Get fresh air immediately.

20.  
Avoid burns from the engine. Certain parts of the Engine become very hot during  
use. Do not touch the Engine until it cools down completely.  
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 connected machinery.  
do not operate the engine with safety guards removed. While the Engine is run-  
ning, do not attempt to reach around the safety guards for maintenance or any other  
reason.  
21.  
22.  
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 flam-  
mable 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.  
23.  
24.  
never store fuel or other flammable materials near the engine.  
keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry away from pulleys, belts,  
and other moving parts. Be aware that when Engine parts are moving fast they can-  
not be seen clearly.  
25.  
the engine can produce high noise levels. Prolonged exposure to noise levels  
above 85 dBA is hazardous to hearing. Always wear ANSI-approved ear protection  
when operating or working around the Engine when it is running.  
warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual can-  
not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood

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.  
Manufacturers 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.  
Owners warranty responsibilities  
-
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner’s Manual. HFT recom-  
mends 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.
