    At the time of sale, an Owner Registration form (included with each new snowmobile) is to be completed by the selling dealer and consumer. The receipt of the registration form by Arctic Cat is a condition precedent to warranty coverage. It is the selling dealer’s responsibility to retain and/or submit the appropriate copies of the form to the appropriate place(s) to initiate warranty coverage.
