CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM LIMITED WARRANTY
POLARIS WATERCRAFT ENGINES
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board and Polaris Industries, Inc. (Polar-
is) are pleased to explain the California emission control system limited
warranty on your Model Year 2002 or later Polaris watercraft engine.
In California, new watercraft engines must be designed, built and
equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti–smog standards. Polaris
must warrant the emission control system on your watercraft engine for
the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, ne-
glect, or improper maintenance of your watercraft engine.
Your emission control system includes the direct fuel injection system
and the ignition system. Also included may be other emission–related
assemblies as indicated in the list of warranted parts. Where a warrant-
able condition exists, Polaris will repair your watercraft engine at no
cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor. This includes diag-
nostic labor that is directly associated with a defective emission–related
warranted part. The diagnosis and repair must be performed at an au-
thorized Polaris dealer.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Polaris warrants to the ultimate California purchaser and each subse-
quent California purchaser thereafter that this new watercraft engine
sold in California to a California resident is:
•
Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform, at the time of sale,
to all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources
Board.
•
Free from defects in material and workmanship that cause the fail-
ure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part
as described in Polaris’ application for certification. In practical terms,
a defect exists when a deficiency in materials or workmanship causes
an emission–related part to not function as designed.
The limited warranty begins on the date the watercraft is delivered to
the ultimate California purchaser or, as in the case of a demonstration
engine or watercraft, on the date it is first put in service. The warranty
period of the watercraft engine will be 4 years or 250 hours of use,
whichever occurs first.
Select emission control parts from model year 2002 and later watercraft
engines are warranted for 4 years, or for 250 hours of use, or for the peri-
od prior to the first scheduled replacement of the warranted part as re-
quired by the maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual or other
written instructions provided by Polaris, whichever occurs first. How-
ever, warranty coverage based on the hourly period is only permitted
for watercraft engines equipped with appropriate hour meters or their
equivalent. The electronic engine management module in your water-
craft engine contains a very accurate clock (i.e., hour meter) that accu-
mulates engine run time. This clock will be used by Polaris to limit
warranty coverage to 250 hours of use, within the first 4 years. Warran-
ty coverage expires after 4 years, regardless of the hours of use. If any
emission–related part is defective under warranty, the part will be re-
paired or replaced by Polaris.
