WARRANTY

Limited Warranty

Polaris Sales Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340, provides a ONE YEAR LIM-

ITED WARRANTY on all components of the Polaris snowmobile against defects in 

material or workmanship. This warranty covers the parts and labor charges for repair or 

replacement of defective parts that are covered by this warranty. The warranty begins on 

the date of purchase. This warranty is transferable to another consumer, during the war-

ranty period, through a Polaris dealer. 

Registration

At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer 

and submitted to Polaris within ten days. Upon receipt of this registration, Polaris will 

record the registration for warranty. No verification of registration will be sent to the 

purchaser as the copy of the Warranty Registration Form will be the warranty entitle-

ment. If you have not signed the original registration and received the customer copy, 

please contact your dealer immediately. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL BE 

ALLOWED UNLESS THE SNOWMOBILE IS REGISTERED WITH POLARIS.
Initial dealer preparation and setup of your snowmobile is very important in ensuring 

trouble-free operation. Purchasing a snowmobile in the crate or without proper dealer 

setup will void your warranty coverage.

Warranty Coverage and Exclusions

Limitations of warranties and remedies

This warranty excludes any failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. 

The warranty does not cover accidental damage, normal wear and tear, abuse or 

improper handling. The warranty also does not cover any snowmobile that has been 

structurally altered, neglected, improperly maintained, used for racing or used for pur-

poses other than for which it was manufactured. The warranty does not cover any dam-

ages that occur during trailer transit or as a result of unauthorized service or parts. In 

addition, this warranty does not cover physical damage to paint or finish, stress cracks, 

tearing or puncturing of upholstery material, corrosion or defects in parts, components 

or the snowmobile due to fire, explosions or any other cause beyond Polaris' control.
This warranty does not cover the use of unauthorized lubricants, chemicals, or fuels that 

are not compatible with the snowmobile. 
The exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty shall be, at Polaris' exclusive option, 

repair or replacement of any defective materials, or components or products. THE REM-

EDIES SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAIL-

ABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL 

HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL 

OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF 

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLI-

GENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. Some states do not permit the exclu-

sion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or implied warranties, so the 

above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you if inconsistent with controlling 

state law.

122

WARRANTY

Limitations of warranties and remedies

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE 

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PAR-

TICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE ABOVE ONE YEAR 

WARRANTY PERIOD. POLARIS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WAR-

RANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations 

on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you if 

inconsistent with controlling state law.

How to Obtain Warranty Service

If your snowmobile requires warranty service, you must take it to a Polaris dealer autho-

rized to repair Polaris snowmobiles. When requesting warranty service you must present 

your copy of the Warranty Registration form to the dealer. (The cost of transportation to 

and from the dealer is YOUR responsibility). Polaris recommends that you use your 

original selling dealer; however, you may use any Polaris Servicing Dealer to perform 

warranty service.
Please work with your dealer to resolve any warranty issues. Your dealer will contact the 

appropriate personnel at Polaris if additional assistance is needed.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which 

vary from state to state.
If any of the above terms are void because of state or federal law, all other warranty 

terms will remain in effect.

Engine Oil

1. Mixing oil brands or using non-recommended oil may cause engine damage. We rec-

ommend the use of Polaris engine oil.
2. Damage resulting from the use of non-recommended lubricants may not be covered 

by warranty.

123

WARRANTY

Conditions and Exclusions

In order to qualify for warranty, the product must have been properly set up and tested 

by a Polaris Dealer (if applicable). Failure of any dealer to perform the required vehicle 

Pre-Delivery Inspection, perform all applicable service bulletins and have the consumer 

sign the PDI form prior to delivery may void the warranty. Failure to provide proof of 

required periodic maintenance upon request may result in denial of warranty coverage. 

Use of the recommended Polaris products for lubrication and maintenance as directed by 

the Owner's manual is highly recommended. Should a failure occur during the warranty 

period resulting from the use of non-recommended products, warranty coverage may be 

denied.
Warranty does not apply to parts exposed to friction surfaces, stresses, environmental 

conditions and/or contamination. The following items are excluded from warranty con-

sideration if the failure was due to wear or not the direct result of a defect:

Warranty applies to the product only and does not allow for coverage of personal loss. 

Some items are considered "consumable," meaning they are considered part of normal 

maintenance or part of completing an effective repair. The following items are excluded 
from warranty coverage in the event of a warranty claim:

This warranty also excludes failures resulting from improper lubrication; improper 

engine timing; improper fuel; surface imperfections caused by external stress, heat, cold 

or contamination; operator error or abuse; improper component alignment, tension, 

adjustment or altitude compensation; failure due to snow, water, dirt or other foreign 

substance ingestion/contamination; improper maintenance; modified components; use 

of aftermarket components resulting in failure; unauthorized repairs; repairs made after 

the warranty period expires or by an unauthorized repair center; use of the product in 

competition or for commercial purposes. Warranty will not apply to any product which 

has been damaged by abuse, accident, fire or any other casualty not determined a defect 

of materials or workmanship.
