Limited Warranty 

Arctic Cat Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Arctic Cat) extends a limited warranty on each new Arctic Cat
Snowmobile it assembles and on each part and accessory assembled or sold by Arctic Cat. The warranty
is extended to the original retail purchaser only on parts and accessories sold through an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. Warranty on snowmobiles is extended to the original retail purchaser;
however, the balance of the unused warranty may be transferred to another party. Warranty coverage is
only available in the country in which the original retail purchase occurs to the original retail purchaser
resident in that country or to a transferee resident in that country of the balance of the unused warranty.

Arctic Cat warrants only the products it assembles and/or sells and does not warrant that other products
will function properly when used with an Arctic Cat Snowmobile or will not damage the Arctic Cat
Snowmobile. Arctic Cat does not assume any liability for incidental or consequential damages.

Arctic Cat will repair or replace, at its option, free of charge (including any related labor charges), any parts
that are found to be warrantable in material or workmanship. This repair work MUST be done by an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. No transportation charges, rental charges, or inconvenience costs
will be paid by Arctic Cat. The warranty is validated upon examination of said parts by Arctic Cat or an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. Arctic Cat reserves the right to inspect such parts at its factory for
final determination if warranty should apply.

The warranty periods are as follows:

1. For snowmobiles used for recreational purposes:

—If purchased between May 1 and November 30, warranty expires ONE (1) YEAR from December 1
of the current year.
—If purchased between December 1 and April 30, ONE (1) YEAR from the date of sale.

2. For snowmobiles used for commercial purposes (including rental operations), ONE (1) YEAR from

the date of invoice and/or 5000 MILES whichever comes first (non-transferable).

3. THIRTY (30) DAYS from date of sale of snowmobile on Arctic Cat supplied batteries.

4. THIRTY (30) DAYS from date of sale for all dealer installed genuine Arctic Cat service parts and

accessories.

5. UNTIL EXPIRATION OF THE NEW PRODUCT WARRANTY (paragraphs 1 and 2 above) for all

eligible replacement parts on new product.

Exclusions to this warranty include normal wear, abuse (i.e. a track run on marginal snow conditions
without proper lubrication or additional idler wheels), and the following parts:

Fuel Filter

Light Bulbs

** Limited to one (1) year or 1000 mile of “normal” riding conditions - rebuild for leaking shock (warranted) 

- replace for defective shock, corroded or pitted shaft, peeling chrome.

The following will VOID Arctic Cat’s warranty:

1. Failure to perform the proper break-in procedure and all related maintenance, storage procedures (if

stored for extended periods), and/or service as recommended in the Operator’s Manual.

2. Repairs and/or adjustments by anyone other than an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.

3. Use of an improper fuel mixture ratio.

4. Use of improper carburetor main jets.

5. Use of improper gasoline, lubricating oils, or spark plugs.

6. An accident or subjecting the snowmobile to misuse, abuse, or negligent operation.

7. Any modification, addition, or removal of parts unless instructed to do so by Arctic Cat.

8. Use of the snowmobile in any way for racing purposes.

9. Removal of the engine for use in another vehicle.

10. Removal or mutilation of the Vehicle Identification Number or Engine Serial Number.

11. Use of parts not sold or approved by Arctic Cat.

12. Track and tunnel damage resulting from either ice stud or hooker plate installation.

13. Damage due to improper transportation.

In consideration of the foregoing, any implied warranty is limited in duration to the various warranty
periods set forth. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which
vary from state/province to state/province and country to country. Some jurisdictions do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
