Emission Control System Limited Warranty

This emissions limited warranty is in addition to the POLARIS standard limited warranty for your product.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

UNITED STATES & CANADA
POLARIS must warrant the emission control system on your generator for the periods of time listed in the Warranty Coverage section below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine. POLARIS Industries Inc. warrants that at the time it is first purchased, this emissions-certified product is designed, built and equipped to conform with the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Environment and Climate Change Canada regulations. POLARIS warrants that the product is free from defects in materials or workmanship that would cause it to fail to meet these regulations. Where a warrantable condition exists, POLARIS will repair your generator engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies. Additional covered parts are listed in the Warranty Coverage section below.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
The California Air Resources Board and POLARIS are pleased to explain the emission control system’s warranty on your model year 2020 and later generator engine. In California, new small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. POLARIS Industries Inc. warrants that at the time it is first purchased, this emissions-certified product is designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code. POLARIS warrants that the engine is free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer's application for certification for a minimum period of time as listed in the Warranty Coverage section below.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the generator engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. POLARIS recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your generator engine, but POLARIS cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the generator engine owner, you should be aware that POLARIS may deny you warranty coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your generator engine to a POLARIS dealer or service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

WARRANTY COVERAGE

The warranty period for this emission-certified product sold in the United States and Canada starts on the date the equipment is delivered to the original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 24 calendar months. This warranty is transferable to each subsequent purchaser for the duration of the warranty period.
This emissions limited warranty covers components whose failure increases emissions, and it covers components of systems whose only purpose is to control emissions. Repairing or replacing other components not covered by this warranty is the responsibility of the product owner. This emissions limited warranty does not cover components whose failure does not increase the product’s regulated emissions.
For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine parts related to the following systems:
  • Air-induction system
  • Fuel system
  • Ignition system
  • Exhaust gas recirculation system
The following parts are also considered emission-related components for exhaust emissions:
  • Aftertreatment devices
  • Crankcase ventilation valves
  • Sensors
  • Electronic control units
The following parts are considered emission-related components for evaporation emissions:

  • Fuel Tank
  • Fuel Cap
  • Fuel Line
  • Fuel Line Fittings
  • Clamps*
  • Pressure Relief Valves*
  • Control Valves*
  • Control Solenoids*
  • Electronic Controls*

  • Vacuum Control Diaphragms*
  • Control Cables*
  • Control Linkages*
  • Purge Valves
  • Vapor Hoses
  • Liquid/Vapor Separator
  • Carbon Canister
  • Canister Mounting Brackets
  • Carburetor Purge Port Connector
*As related to the evaporative emission control system
Emission-related components also include any other part whose only purpose is to reduce emissions or whose failure will increase emissions without significantly degrading engine/equipment performance.
If any emissions related component on your engine is defective, POLARIS will repair or replace the defective component without any charge for diagnosis, parts, or labor. All defective parts replaced under this warranty become the property of POLARIS.

EXCLUSIONS

This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover any engine that has been structurally altered. This limited warranty also does not cover physical damage, corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the control of POLARIS. Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the owner's manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner's or operator’s improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

The generator engine owner must, at their own expense, take the small off-road engine, or the product on which it is installed, along with the sales registration card or other proof of original purchase date, to any qualified repair shop or qualified person. Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission control devices or systems on your product. An authorized POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for your product. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts, however equivalent parts may be used for such service. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the product’s emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.

DISCLAIMER

The exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty shall be, at the exclusive option of POLARIS, repair or replacement of any defective materials, components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS 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 if it is inconsistent with the controlling state law.

SPARK ARRESTOR LIMITED WARRANTY

POLARIS warrants that the spark arrestor in this product 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 accordance with POLARIS recommendations.
