MAINTENANCE

Clutch System

Drive Belt Installation

1. Drop the drive belt over the

drive clutch and pull back the

slack. The belt cord line

should be flush with, or

slightly above, the outer

circumference of the driven

clutch sheaves. The belt will

seat itself in the driven clutch

during the break-in period.

Adjust the belt ride-out after

the break-in period by

readjusting belt deflection.

2. To ensure satisfactory belt life, install belts so they operate in the

same direction of rotation by positioning the identification numbers

so that you can read them. If required, separate the sheaves as

outlined in the belt removal procedures.

3. Rotate the L-wrench counterclockwise to tighten the sheaves while

working the belt to the outer edge of the sheaves.

4. Remove the L-wrench and store it in the tool kit.

5. Close the clutch guard and reinstall the retaining pin.

6. Reinstall the side panel. Close and secure the hood.

7. Break in the new belt. See page 58.

Torque Stop

If the snowmobile is equipped with an

engine torque stop, periodically check

torque stop clearance. With clutches in

proper alignment, the torque stop clearance

should be.010”-.030” (.25-.75 mm) from the

engine case. Adjust if necessary. Lock the

jam nut.
