LI-ION BATTERY LIMITED WARRANTY

POLARIS Industries Inc. gives a FIVE-YEAR/30,000 miles (48,300 km) LIMITED parts and labor warranty on the battery pack against defects in material or workmanship on your GEM vehicle. The FIVE-YEAR/30,000 miles (48,300 km) term begins on the purchase date, is fully transferable and has no deductible. The term ends 5 years after purchase, or after 30,000 miles (48,300 km), whichever occurs first.
All batteries experience some reduction in capacity/range over time. A capacity/range reduction of 30% or less during the battery warranty period does not constitute a defect. Any capacity/range reduction-based claim must be confirmed by an authorized GEM dealer and approved by Polaris to be eligible for coverage. In addition to the WARRANTY COVERAGE EXCLUSIONS listed below, the battery warranty also excludes failure, damage or capacity loss to the batteries caused by neglect, lack of charging or not following the recommended maintenance schedule outlined in the Owner’s Manual. This Li-ion battery warranty is limited to the Li-ion batteries themselves, and does not include the other Li-ion system components.

REGISTRATION

At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer and submitted to Polaris within three days. Upon receipt of this registration, Polaris will record the registration for warranty. No verification of registration will be sent to the purchaser as the copy of the Warranty Registration Form will be the warranty entitlement. If you have not signed the original registration and received the customer copy, please contact your dealer immediately. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL BE ALLOWED UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH POLARIS. Initial dealer preparation and set-up of your vehicle is very important in ensuring trouble-free operation. Purchasing a vehicle in the crate or without proper dealer set-up will void your warranty coverage.
