BOMBARDIER LIMITED WARRANTY NORTH
AMERICA: 2004 SKI-DOO®SNOWMOBILES
1. SCOPE OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY
In Canada, BOMBARDIER INC. (hereinafter “BOMBARDIER”), and
in the USA, Bombardier on behalf of BOMBARDIER MOTOR COR-
PORATION OF AMERICA (BMCA) warrants its 2004 SKI-DOO snow-
mobiles from defects in material or workmanship for the period de-
scribed below.
All genuine BOMBARDIER parts and accessories, installed by an au-
thorized BOMBARDIER dealer (as hereinafter defined) at the time of
delivery of the 2004 SKI-DOO snowmobile, carry the same warranty
as that of the snowmobile.
Use of the product for racing or any other competitive activity, at any
point, even by a prior owner will render this warranty null and void.
2. WARRANTY COVERAGE PERIOD
This warranty will be in effect FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY TO
THE FIRST RETAIL CONSUMER or the date the product is first put
into use, whichever occurs first and for a period of:
TWELVE (12) CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, for private or commercial
use owners. The warranty coverage period on a snowmobile deliv-
ered between June 1st and December 1st of a given year will expire
December 1st of the following year.
The emission-related components on EPA certified EliteTM registered in
the USA are covered for thirty (30) consecutive months or 2500 miles
(4000 km) of engine use whichever occurs first. If the 2500 miles
(4000 km) are reached during the regular warranty coverage period,
the emission-related components are still on warranty until the end of
regular warranty coverage period.

Emission-Related Components
The repair or replacement of parts or the performance of service un-
der this warranty does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its
original expiration date.
3. CONDITIONS TO HAVE WARRANTY COVERAGE
This warranty coverage is available only on 2004 SKI-DOO snowmo-
bile purchased as new and unused by its first owner from a
BOMBARDIER dealer authorized to distribute SKI-DOO products in
the country in which the sale occurred (hereinafter “BOMBARDIER
dealer”), and then only after the BOMBARDIER specified predelivery
inspection process is completed and documented. Moreover, this
warranty coverage is only available if the SKI-DOO snowmobile is pur-
chased in the country in which the purchaser resides. Bombardier will
not honor this limited warranty to any personal use owner or commer-
cial use owner where the preceding conditions have not been met.
Warranty coverage only becomes available upon proper registration
of the product by a BOMBARDIER dealer. Such limitations are neces-
sary in order to allow BOMBARDIER to preserve both the safety of
its products, and also that of its consumers and the public. Routine
maintenance outlined in the Operator’s Guide must be timely per-
formed in order to maintain warranty coverage. BOMBARDIER re-
serves the right to make warranty coverage contingent upon proof of
proper maintenance.

MAINTENANCE FOR EPA CERTIFIED
ENGINES
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control de-
vices and systems may be performed by any snowmobile SI
(spark ignition) engine repair establishments or individual.
Engine Emissions Information
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 2004 model year engines, snowmobile manufactur-
ers of snowmobile engines may determine the exhaust emission lev-
els for each engine horsepower family and certify these engines with
the United States of America Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). An emissions control information label, showing emission lev-
els and engine specifications, must be placed on each vehicle at the
time of manufacture.
Bombardier Recreational Products certified the following engine to
applicable EPA snowmobile standards:
1503
Dealer’s Responsibility
When performing service on all 2004 and more recent certified SKI-DOO
snowmobiles that carry an emissions control information label, ad-
justments must be kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be
executed in a manner that maintains emission levels within the pre-
scribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter
the horsepower or allow emission levels to exceed their predeter-
mined factory specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer’s prescribed changes, such as alti-
tude adjustments for example.
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have engine maintenance per-
formed to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification
standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and should not allow anyone to modify
the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow
emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifica-
tions.

EPA Emission Regulations
All new 2004 and more recent certified SKI-DOO snowmobiles man-
ufactured by Bombardier are certified to the EPA as conforming to
the requirements of the regulations for the control of air pollution
from new snowmobile engines. This certification is contingent on
certain adjustments being set to factory standards. For this reason,
the factory procedure for servicing the product must be strictly fol-
lowed and, whenever practicable, returned to the original intent of
the design.
The responsibilities listed above are general and in no way a complete
listing of the rules and regulations pertaining to the EPA requirements
on exhaust emissions for snowmobile products. For more detailed
