MAINTENANCE

Clutch System

WARNING

If you become aware of higher than normal clutch engagement or

an unusual vibration or shift pattern, see your dealer immediately.

Do not operate the machine until repairs have been made.
All clutch maintenance and repairs must be performed by an

authorized Polaris dealer. Any unauthorized modifications to

clutches, such as adding or removing weights, will void the

warranty.

CAUTION

The bushings in the weights and rollers of Polaris clutches are

made of a material that may be damaged if lubricated. Do not

lubricate clutch bushings.

Periodically inspect clutch sheaves for damage, wear or belt residue.

To maintain optimum performance, clean with non-oil based cleaners

such as isopropyl alcohol.

Clutch Alignment and Offset

Clutch alignment offset (A) is important for

maintaining optimum performance. See your

Owner’s Manual Supplement for the

recommended offset between the drive and

driven clutches with the belt removed.
Belt width and length must match the center

distance of the clutches and sheave width of the

drive clutch. Polaris recommends the use of

O.E.M. belts. Other belts may match the

dimensions, but can drastically change the shift

pattern, resulting in poor performance. See your

dealer for service and adjustments.

NOTE: A worn belt will continue to function, but

will not deliver maximum performance.

Always carry a spare belt in case of an

emergency.
