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, dur-
ing 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 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 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, CONSE-
QUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARIS-
ING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, 
NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CON-
SEQUENTIAL, 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 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.

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 pro-
gram, 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 rec-
ommend 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 vehi-
cle Pre-Delivery Inspection, perform all applicable service bulletins and have the con-
sumer 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 dur-
ing 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.

Exported Vehicles

EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED BY LAW, THERE IS NO WAR-
RANTY OR SERVICE BULLETIN COVERAGE ON THIS VEHICLE IF IT IS SOLD

TION.

This policy does not apply to vehicles that have received authorization for export from

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, War-
ranty 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 perform 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 importa-
tion rules vary considerably from country to country. You may be required to present 
documentation of your move to POLARIS Industries in order to continue your warranty 
coverage. You may also be required to obtain documentation from POLARIS Industries 
in order to register your vehicle in your new country. You should warranty register your 
vehicle at a local POLARIS dealer in your new country immediately after you move to 
continue your warranty coverage and to ensure that you receive safety information and 
notices regarding your vehicle.
