How to Get Service

In the Country where your vehicle was purchased:
Warranty or Service Bulletin repairs must be done by an authorized Polaris dealer. If you 

move or are traveling within the country where your vehicle was purchased, Warranty or 

Service Bulletin repairs may be requested from any authorized Polaris dealer who sells 

the same line as your vehicle.
Outside the Country where your vehicle was purchased: 
If you are traveling temporarily outside the country where your vehicle was purchased, 

you should take your vehicle to an authorized Polaris dealer. You must show the dealer 

photo identification from the country of the selling dealer's authorized location as proof 

of residence. Upon residence verification, the servicing dealer will be authorized to per-

form the warranty repair. 
If You Move:
If you move to another country, be sure to contact Polaris Customer Assistance and the 

customs department of the destination country before you move. Vehicles importation 

rules vary considerably from country to country. You may be required to present docu-

mentation of your move to Polaris Industries in order to continue your warranty cover-

age. You may also be required to obtain documentation from Polaris Industries in order 

to register your vehicle in your new country.
If Purchased From A Private Party:
If you purchase a Polaris product from a private citizen outside of the country in which 

the vehicle was originally purchased, all warranty coverage will be denied. 

Notice

If your vehicle is registered outside of the country where it was purchased, and you have 

not followed the procedure set out above, your vehicle will no longer be eligible for war-

ranty or service bulletin coverage of any kind. (Vehicles registered to Government offi-

cials or military personnel on assignment outside of the country where the vehicle was 

purchased will continue to be covered by the basic warranty.)
For questions call Polaris Customer Assistance (see page 119).

WARRANTY

Snowmobile Engine Emissions Limited Warranty

This snowmobile engine emissions limited warranty is in addition to the Polaris 

standard limited warranty for snowmobiles.

Polaris Industries Inc. warrants that at the time it is first purchased, this emissions-

certified snowmobile engine is designed, built and equipped so it conforms with U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency regulations applicable to snowmobile emissions. 

Polaris warrants that the engine is free from defects in materials and workmanship that 

would cause it to fail to meet these regulations. The warranty period for this emissions 

certified snowmobile engine starts on the date when the engine is first purchased and 

continues for a period of 200 hours of engine operation, 4000 kilometers (2485 miles) of 

vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first.

This engine emissions limited warranty covers the parts and labor charges for repair or 

replacement of defective parts that are covered by this warranty. This includes all 

components whose failure increases the snowmobile engine's emissions. Replacing or 

repairing other components not covered by this warranty is the responsibility of the 

snowmobile owner.

The exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty shall be, at the exclusive 

option of Polaris, repair or replacement of any defective materials, components or 

products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED 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.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY 

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PAR-

TICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY 

PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WARRAN-

TIES NOT STATE IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how 

long an implied warranty lasts so the above limitation may not apply if it is inconsistent 

with the controlling state law.

WARRANTY

Snowmobile Engine Emissions Limited Warranty

This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or 

workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse, or 

improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover any 

engine that has been structurally altered, or when the snowmobile has been used in 

racing competition. This limited warranty also does not cover physical damage, 

corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the 

control of Polaris.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the 

owner's manual. Polaris can deny an emissions warranty claim if any specified critical 

emissions-related maintenance is not performed. Performance of other scheduled 

maintenance is strongly recommended, but is not necessary to keep the emissions-

related warranty valid.
Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission con-

trol devices or systems on your snowmobile. Polaris recommends that you contact an 

authorized Polaris dealer to perform any service that may be necessary for your snow-

mobile. Polaris also recommends that you use only Pure Polaris parts. It is a potential 

violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer 

reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle's emission controls. Tampering with emission 

controls is prohibited by federal law.
