WARRANTY

LIMITED WARRANTY

POLARIS Industries Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340 (POLARIS) gives a 
SIX MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY on all components of your POLARIS vehicle 
against defects in material or workmanship. POLARIS further warrants that the spark 
arrester in this product will meet the efficiency requirements of USFS standard 5100-1C 
for at least 1000 hours when subjected to normal use and when maintenance and 
installation are in accordance with POLARIS recommendations.
This warranty covers parts and labor charges for repair or replacement of defective parts 
and begins on the date of purchase by the original retail purchaser. This warranty is 
transferable to another owner during the warranty period through a POLARIS dealer, 
but any such transfer will not extend the original term of the warranty. The duration of 
this warranty may vary by international region based upon local laws and regulations.

Registration

At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer 
and submitted to POLARIS within ten days of purchase. 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 your proof of warranty coverage. 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 YOUR VEHICLE IS 
REGISTERED WITH POLARIS. Initial dealer preparation and set-up of your vehicle is 
very important in ensuring trouble-free operation. Purchasing a machine in the crate or 
without proper dealer set-up will void your warranty coverage.

Warranty Coverage And Exclusions:

Limitations Of Warranties And Remedies

This POLARIS limited warranty excludes any failures that are not caused by a defect in 
material or workmanship. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CLAIMS OF 
DEFECTIVE DESIGN. This warranty also does not cover acts of God, accidental 
damage, normal wear and tear, abuse or improper handling. This warranty also does not 
cover any vehicle, component, or part that has been altered structurally, modified, 
neglected, improperly maintained or used for racing, competition or purposes other than 
for which it was designed. 
This warranty excludes damages or 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; snow, water, dirt or other foreign 
substance ingestion/contamination; improper maintenance; modified components; use 
of aftermarket or unapproved components, accessories, or attachments; unauthorized 
repairs; or repairs made after the warranty period expires or by an unauthorized repair 
center.
