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.
