Drive Belt Removal

NOTICE: Do not attempt to remove the drive belt after operating in reverse (if

equipped). The snowmobile must be stopped after forward motion to

prevent damage to components during belt removal. Rotate the driven

clutch counterclockwise 1/4 turn by hand to ensure forward

engagement before attempting to remove the belt.

1. Stop the engine after

operating in a forward

motion. Wait for the engine

to come to a complete stop.

2. Apply the brake (or lock the

parking brake, if equipped).

3. Open the hood and remove

the left side panel. Remove

the clutch guard retaining

pin and open the clutch

guard.

4. Rotate the driven clutch counterclockwise 1/4 turn by hand to

ensure forward engagement.

5. Locate the L-wrench in the tool kit. Install the wrench into the open

threaded hole in the outer sheave of the clutch (X).

6. Turn the wrench clockwise until the sheaves open far enough to

remove the belt. If the wrench does not turn readily, rotate the

driven clutch counterclockwise an additional 1/4 turn by hand and

try again.

7. Grasp the belt at the lower edge and remove it.
