General Information
ATV Identification Numbers
The Arctic Cat ATV has two identi-
fication numbers: Vehicle Identifica-
tion Number (VIN) and Engine
Serial Number (ESN).
The VIN is located on the horizontal
frame bar.
The ESN is located on the left-side
of the engine crankcase near the
lower front.
These numbers are required by the
dealer to complete warranty claims
properly. No warranty will be
allowed by Arctic Cat if the VIN or
ESN is removed or mutilated in any
way.
Always provide the ATV name,
VIN, and ESN when contacting an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer
for parts, service, accessories, or warranty. If a complete engine must
be replaced, ask the dealer to notify Arctic Cat for correct registration
information.
Ignition Switch Key
Two keys come with the ATV. Keep the
spare key in a safe place.
