BELT REPLACEMENT / DEBRIS REMOVAL
If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the duct and from the clutch and
engine compartments when replacing the belt.
WARNING
Failure to remove ALL debris when replacing the belt could result in vehicle
damage, loss of control and severe injury or death.
1. Allow hot components to cool before performing this procedure.
2. Remove the engine access cover and thoroughly clean all debris from the
aluminum debris bracket and from the engine compartment.
3. Remove the clutch cover screws and open the clutch cover. (It does not have
to be removed from the vehicle.) Remove all debris wrapped in and around
the PVT system.
TIP
Use the shock/clutch tool from the tool kit to slightly open the sheaves to aid in
debris removal and belt installation.
4. Remove all debris from the entire clutch air duct passage.
5. Check for signs of damage to seals on the transmission and engine. If any
seals appear to be damaged, your vehicle requires prompt service. Your
POLARIS dealer can assist.
TIP
Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts, wears
clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to low range
while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT components
(belt, cover, etc.).
