WARRANTY
LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES
This warranty also excludes 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; failure due to snow, water, dirt or other for-
eign substance ingestion/contamination; improper maintenance; modified components; use of aftermarket com-
ponents resulting in failure; unauthorized repairs; repairs made after the warranty period expires or by an
unauthorized repair center; use of the product in competition or for commercial purposes. Warranty will not apply
to any product which has been damaged by abuse, accident, fire or any other casualty not determined a defect of
materials or workmanship.
This warranty does not cover the use of unauthorized lubricants, chemicals, or fuels that are not compatible with
the vehicle. The exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty shall be, at POLARIS' exclusive option, repair or
replacement of any defective materials, or components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS
WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WAR-
RANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUEN-
TIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHER-
WISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES IS INDE-
PENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF
ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some states do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages or implied warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you if inconsistent with
controlling state law.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO
THE ABOVE SIX MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD. POLARIS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS
WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you if inconsistent with controlling state law.
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE
If your vehicle requires warranty service, you must take it to a POLARIS Servicing Dealer. When requesting war-
ranty service you must present your copy of the Warranty Registration form to the dealer. (THE COST OF
TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE DEALER IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY). POLARIS suggests that
you use your original selling dealer; however, you may use any POLARIS Servicing Dealer to perform warranty
service.
Please work with your dealer to resolve any warranty issues. Should your dealer require any additional assistance
they will contact the appropriate person at POLARIS.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
If any of the above terms are void because of state or federal law, all other warranty terms will remain in effect.
Lubricants
1. Mixing oil brands or using non-recommended oil may cause engine damage. We recommend the use of
POLARIS engine oil.
2. Damage resulting from the use of non-recommended lubricants may not be covered by warranty.
SPARK ARRESTER
POLARIS warrants that the spark arrester in this vehicle 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 accor-
dance with POLARIS recommendations.
