XL OWNER’S MANUAL
A Message from Mudd-Ox Inc.
Thank you for choosing the Mudd-Ox as your new amphibious ATV.
We began designing the first Mudd-Ox in 2005, spending years testing and developing the ultimate amphibious
vehicle. The first production machine rolled off the line in 2008 and was shipped to Australia. Since then, we have
expanded our model lineup to include the Mudd-Ox GT, XL, Fort Mac, and Vengeance to suit all your outdoor needs.
Our journey has continued to be full of adventure.
Safety is our number one concern. Be sure to read and understand this entire manual to ensure the safety of your-
self and others with the Mudd-Ox.
Mudd-Ox is proudly made in the USA. Our headquarters and manufacturing facility are located near the historic
town of Shipshewana, Indiana. We welcome everyone to come visit our facility and take in the local beauty that is
rural Indiana.

Identify Your Mudd-Ox
PIN Plate
Each Mudd-Ox has its own unique identification plate. It notates the Model and Product Identification Number
(PIN). This information is vital for identifying each individual Mudd-Ox and obtaining a state-issued title. Never
remove the PIN plate from the Mudd-Ox.
Locating the PIN
On the interior of the Mudd-Ox in front of the parking brake handle locates the PIN plate. It is visible without
removing any components, however removing the lower operator seat is recommended for best visibility.
Document Your Information
Write down the Model and PIN information just as it displays on the PIN plate to document your individual Mudd-Ox.

Warranty
Limited Warranty: Mudd-Ox Inc. (“Mudd-Ox”) hereby warrants to the original purchaser that any components of your
new Mudd-Ox vehicle manufactured by Mudd-Ox will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of
(1) year from date of purchase or 500 hours, whichever comes first, exempt as otherwise noted. Dealer demo vehicles are
warrantied for (30) days.
Mudd-Ox Warranty Responsibilities: Mudd-Ox, if notified of a defect in material or workmanship during the period of
warranty, will repair or replace, at its option, defective parts covered by this warranty at no charge other than the reason-
able cost for the transportation of components, if applicable. Mudd-Ox will also pay reasonable charges for necessary labor
to perform warranty repairs.
Warranty Claim Procedures: In order to be able to submit claims under this warranty, the original purchaser must main-
tain and operate the vehicle in accordance with instruction provided: in the Owner’s Manual; engine manufacturer’s manu-
al; in any manual related to components of the vehicle; and on labels affixed to the vehicle. To initiate a warranty claim pro-
cedure, the original purchaser must contact the Mudd-Ox Customer Service Department within (10) days of the discovery
of an alleged defect. Mudd-Ox’s Customer Service Department may be contacted using the following methods: by calling +1
260-768-7221, in person or by mail at Mudd-Ox Inc, 8525 W 750 N Shipshewana, IN 46565, or online at www.muddox.net.
The repair or replacement of any part(s) under this Limited Warranty shall not extend the term of the warranty beyond the
original term as set forth above. Products which Mudd-Ox Inc. determines violate such warranty shall be returned to the
BUYER at the BUYER’S expense. Any parts required for warranty that are not in the dealer’s inventory will be shipped to the
servicing dealer via UPS Ground or USPS priority mail at Mudd-Ox Inc. discretion.
General Exclusions: This limited warranty does not cover component failure or damage caused by any of the following:
abnormal strain or stress; neglect; abuse; theft; fire; improper assembly of components which were supplied in the factory
sealed carton after the vehicle left Mudd-Ox; improper maintenance or repair; modifications; damage caused by use of
non-Mudd-Ox accessories; or improper use of the vehicle including but not limited to: racing, jumping, stunt driving, or any
other uses prohibited in the Owner’s Manual. Additionally, this warranty does not cover vehicles which are leased, rented,
or used at a concession track. This warranty does not cover components not manufactured by Mudd-Ox. For warranty
information on components not manufactured by Mudd-Ox, please refer to each component’s respective manufacturer’s
warranty.
Specific Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply to components which are subject to normal wear and tear. These
items are not limited to: axles; track keepers; wheels; tires; batteries; throttle; shift, steer and brake cables; drive belt; the
torque converter system; chain; seat; lights; fasteners; decals; or body panels and natural cosmetic discoloration of mate-
rial due to ultraviolet light. Shipping method of parts, incorrectly damaged components, downtime, and delivery charges
are not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not apply to the vehicle’s batteries. The batteries carry a separate
warranty provided by Mudd-Ox’s battery supplier. Please refer to the battery supplier’s warranty policy for their warranty
requirements and procedures.
No Implied Warranty of Fitness or Merchantability: There are no warranties that extend beyond the description on
the face hereof. Specifically, Mudd-Ox makes no other warranty of any kind, express or implied. All warranties of fitness
or merchantability for a particular purpose that exceed the obligations and time limitations specified in this warrant are
hereby disclaimed by Mudd-Ox and excluded from this warranty. Additionally, this warranty excludes any incidental or
consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of use. Some states do not allow a manufacturer to exclude or limit
incidental or consequential damages and, therefore, the above exclusion may not apply.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty will last. It is possible that the above limitation may
not apply. This warranty gives the original purchaser specific legal rights. The original purchaser may also have other legal
rights, which vary from state to state.
Warranty of Service: To obtain warranty service, the original purchaser must return the Mudd-Ox vehicle to the local au-
thorized dealer or service center, inform them of the warranty, and provide proof of purchase before any warranty service
can be provided. The authorized dealer or service center will inspect the product to determine what repairs or parts are
needed and whether they are covered under this warranty. To locate an authorized dealer or service center, please call
Mudd-Ox at +1 260-768-7221 or visit Mudd-Ox online at www.muddox.net
