General Information

ATV Identification
Numbers
The Arctic Cat ATV has two
identification numbers: Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN)
and
Engine
Serial
Number
(ESN).
The VIN is located on the lower-
front crossmember.
The ESN is located on the rear of
the engine crankcase and is visible
from the side.
These numbers are required by
the dealer to complete warranty
claims properly. No warranty
will be allowed by Arctic Cat if
the VIN or ESN is removed or
mutilated in any way.
Always provide the ATV name,
Vehicle Identification Number, and Engine Serial Number when con-
tacting an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for parts, service, acces-
sories, or warranty. If a complete engine must be replaced, ask the
dealer to notify Arctic Cat for correct registration information.
