WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Q. What costs are my responsibility during the warranty
period?
A. The customer’s responsibility includes all costs of
normal maintenance services, non-warranty repairs,
accident and collision damages, as well as oil, spark
plugs, clutch drive belts, and slide runners.
Q. What are some examples of “abnormal” strain, ne-
glect, or abuse?
A. These terms are general and overlap each other in
areas. Specific examples include: Running the ma-
chine out of oil, hitting an object submerged under
snow, operation on surfaces other than snow or ice,
operating the machine with a broken or damaged
part which causes another part to fail, and so on. If
you have any specific questions on operation or
maintenence, please contact your dealer for advice.
Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended main-
tenance shown in the Owner’s Manual instead of
having the dealer do them?
A. Yes, if you are a qualified snowmobile mechanic and
follow the procedures specified in the Owner’s and
Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that
items requiring special tools or equipment be done by
a Yamaha snowmobile dealer.
Q. Under what conditions is the clutch not covered by
warranty?
A. Clutches as well as clutch components wear with
use. Normal wear is not covered under warranty such
service is the customer’s responsibility. Abnormal
wear is, however, covered for one (1) year from the
date of purchase. Your Yamaha snowmobile dealer
possesses criteria as to what constitutes abnormal
wear.
Q. Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not
operate or maintain my new Yamaha exactly as
specified in the Owner’s Manual?
A. No. The warranty on a new Yamaha cannot be
“voided” or “cancelled.” However, if a particular fail-
ure is caused by operation or maintenance other than
as shown in the Owner’s Manual, that failure may not
be covered under warranty.
Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this
warranty?
A. Each Yamaha snowmobile dealer is expected to:
1. Completely set up every new machine before sale.
2. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty
requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale,
and upon your request at any later date.
3. In addition, each Yamaha snowmobile dealer is held
responsible for his setup, service and warranty repair
work.
Q. Whom should I contact if I have further questions
about this warranty?
A. Your Yamaha snowmobile dealer has the informa-
tion and experience necessary to answer almost any
questions about this warranty. If the dealer is not able
to do so, he is expected to contact Yamaha Motor
Corporation, U.S.A., for clarification or assistance.
