Limited Warranty
Arctic Cat Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Arctic Cat) extends a limited warranty as described below on
each new Arctic Cat Snowmobile it assembles and on each genuine Arctic Cat Snowmobile part and
accessory assembled and sold by an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer. The limited warranty
on an Arctic Cat Snowmobile is extended to the original retail purchaser for the time periods
described below; however, the balance of the remaining warranty may be transferred to another party
unless the purchase is for commercial use (see below). 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 remaining 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.
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
Windshield
Drive Belt
Torn or Punctured Upholstery
Wear Bars
Brake Pads
Spark Plugs
Drive Clutch/Driven Clutch Wear Parts
Wear Strips
Shock Absorber(s)*
*Limited to one (1) year or 1000 miles of “normal” riding conditions — replace for defective or leaking
shock, corroded or pitted shaft, peeling chrome.
NOTE: Snowmobiles that are factory equipped with FOX shocks and experience a shock failure within
the factory warranty period (1 year) must not be tampered with. Only the “Schrader” (air pressure) valve is
serviceable during the warranty period. Failures (air leaks) must be confirmed by following the test proce-
dure as shown in the service manual. Any other tampering with the shock will void the FOX warranty.
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 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.
Arctic Cat shall not be responsible for and this limited warranty excludes recovery of economic,
punitive, consequential and incidental damages, lost profits, and loss of use. Some states or
provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation may not apply to you. Arctic Cat’s aggregate liability may not exceed the price of the
product. The law of the State of Minnesota shall apply to all claims or disputes, exclusive of its
conflicts of law provisions.
