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

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.

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.
IMPLIED WARRANTY EXCLUSION AND DISCLAIMER
To th e fu ll e st ex te n t pe r mi tt ed by l aw, A rct ic Cat excludes and disclaims all implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
If you are not satisfied with warranty service or repairs, you should contact Arctic Cat at (U.S.) 1-218-681-

! WARNING
A snowmobile is a very high performance vehicle. Because it does accelerate
rapidly and is capable of very high speeds, it should not be operated by a nov-
ice or an inexperienced operator. Never accelerate rapidly or drive at high speed
beyond the limits of visibility or without being totally familiar with the terrain
and what lies in front of you. Obey speed limits and never operate at speeds
that do not allow adequate maneuvering and stopping distances. Read and
study the entire Operator’s Manual and Safety Handbook.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury to yourself or others.
Personal Injury

CAUTION
Do not use white gas or gasolines
containing methanol. Only Arctic Cat
approved gasoline additives should
be used.
CAUTION
If a situation arises wherein 91 octane
gasoline is not available, 89 or 87
octane gasoline can be substituted;
however, do not prolong the usage of
89 or 87 octane gasoline as it will
cause poor engine performance.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas or gasoline con-
taining methanol. Only Arctic Cat
approved gasoline additives should
be used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended oil could cause serious
engine damage.
