2. Lift the cargo box.

3. Remove the clutch cover

using a 3/8” socket with ratcheting wrench and

extension.

4. Pull the bottom of the cover outward and over the suspension to remove it.

5. Make sure the cover gasket does not fall out of the groove when removing

the cover.

6. Squeeze the belt

together so that it submarines further into the driven

clutch, creating slack in the belt between the clutches.

7. Remove the belt by using the slack to pull part of the belt off the driven

clutch.

8. Rotate the driven clutch by hand until the belt is completely off.

9. Slide the front of the belt out from between the drive clutch and inner clutch

cover to completely remove it.

10.Remove all debris wrapped in and around the PVT system.

11. Remove all debris from the entire clutch air duct passage.

12.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.).

13.To install a belt, place one end of the belt over the driving clutch. Route the

belt over the top of the driven clutch and down into the groove of the clutch to

allow slack in the belt. Rotate the driven clutch by hand until the belt falls into

place.

14.Reinstall the clutch cover in the reverse order of removal, fitting the top of the

cover into place, then working the bottom of the cover over the suspension.

15.Install all clutch cover screws. Torque to 4-5 ft. lbs. (5.5-6.5 Nm).
