WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. What costs are my responsibility during the
OF
warranty period?
A. The customer's responsibility includes all costs of
normal maintenance services, non-warranty repairs,
accident and collision damages, as well as oil,
spark plugs, clutch drive belts, and slide runners.
Q. What are some examples of "abnormal" strain,
neglect, or abuse?
A. These terms are general and overlap each other in
areas. Specific examples include: Running the
machine out of oil, hitting an object submerged
under snow, operation on surfaces other than snow
or ice, operating the machine with a broken or
damaged part which causes another part to fail, and
so on. If you have any specific questions on
operation or maintenance, please contact your
dealer for advice.
Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended
maintenance shown in the Owner's Manual instead
of having the dealer do them?
A. Yes, if you are a qualified snowmobile mechanic
and follow the procedures specified in the Owner's
and Service Manual. We do recommend, however,
that items requiring special tools or equipment be
done by a Yamaha snowmobile dealer.
Q. Under what conditions is the clutch not covered by
warranty?
A. Clutches as well as clutch components wear with
use. Normal wear is not covered under warranty
such service is the customer's responsibility.
Abnormal wear is, however, covered for one (1) year
from the date of purchase. Your Yamaha snowmobile
dealer possesses criteria as to what constitutes
abnormal wear.
Q. Will the warranty be void or canceled if I do not
operate or maintain my new Yamaha exactly as
specified in the Owner's Manual?
A. No. The warranty on a new Yamaha cannot be
"voided" or "canceled." However, if a particular
failure is caused by operation or maintenance other
than as shown in the Owner's Manual, that failure
may not be covered under warranty.
