WARRANTY

Limited Warranty

POLARIS Sales Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340, provides a ONE YEAR 
LIMITED 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 warranty 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 
entitlement. 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 set-up of your snowmobile is very important in ensuring 
trouble-free operation. Purchasing a snowmobile in the crate or without proper dealer 
set-up 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 
purposes other than for which it was manufactured. The warranty does not cover any 
damages 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 REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES 
AVAILABLE 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, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS 
EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES 
IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE 
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some states do not 
permit the exclusion 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.

WARRANTY

Limitations of warranties and remedies

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE 
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A 
PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE ABOVE ONE 
YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. POLARIS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS 
WARRANTIES 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.

Promotional Warranties

Promotional warranties are sometimes offered by POLARIS. These warranties can be, 
but are not limited to:
• Two-year extended engine coverage
• Two-year powertrain coverage
• Extended service contract
If you selected any type of extended warranty coverage as part of a POLARIS retail 
program, please contact any authorized POLARIS dealer for additional information.

How to Obtain Warranty Service

If your snowmobile requires warranty service, you must take it to a POLARIS dealer 
authorized 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 
recommend the use of POLARIS engine oil.
2. Damage resulting from the use of non-recommended lubricants may not be covered 
by warranty.

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

Skis
