5. With the spring removed you can change the weights. Using a 1/8”Allen wrench and a 3/8” wrench or socket

remove the bolt holding the weight in the clutch. Replace the stock weight with the weight included in the clutch kit
and install the bolt and nut. Repeat the same process for the other two weights.


6. It is a good idea to clean your clutches. Using a clean rag and a contact/brake cleaner that DOES NOT leave an oily

film or residue, clean all areas of the clutch except on the bushings. Cleaning the clutch bushings with a cleaning
solvent can cause premature wear. This applies to both clutches.


7. Install the ALMOND colored primary spring. Make sure the spring fits flat into the clutch at both ends. Install the

cover plate making sure the “X” lines up. Tighten the six outside cover bolts evenly so the cover goes on straight to
prevent bushing damage. Install the center clutch bolt and torque to 45-47 ft/lbs. After riding your machine, if you
would like HIGHER engagement then where this kit engages, you can install the RED primary spring. This spring
will RAISE your engagement 3-400 RPMs. If your kit only has one primary spring you can order this optional
spring through EPI.


8. Remove the secondary (rear) clutch by removing the center clutch bolt and pulling towards you. The clutch should

slide off the splined shaft. If the clutch sticks on the shaft spray some penetrating fluid on the shaft to help free it.


9. CAUTION: The spring retainer will have spring tension on it and can pop up and out of the clutch when

snap ring is removed. Using a compression tool or a press, carefully compress the spring enough to take the
pressure off the spring retainer. Remove the snap ring, spring retainer and spring.


10. Place the EPI GREEN secondary spring and spring retainer in the clutch. Using the compression tool or a press,

slowly and carefully compress the spring until you can install the snap ring. Note: You may need to shim the
secondary clutch to adjust your belt deflection. This shim is available from EPI or your Polaris dealer – part #
7556804.


11. If you removed both clutches from the machine it is easiest to install both clutches and the belt at the same time.

To install both clutches and the belt; place the belt in the secondary clutch so the numbers on the belt read from left
to right. Squeeze the belt at the opposite end of the clutch to force the belt to open the secondary clutch and slide
the belt down into the clutch OR you can LIGHTLY tap on the belt with a plastic or rubber hammer to force the belt
into the clutch. Place the primary clutch through the belt and slide both clutches onto the machine. If you did not
pull the primary clutch off, you will need to place the belt in the primary clutch and install the secondary clutch onto
machine. Place the belt as much as you can into the secondary clutch, starting at the top of the secondary. If you
can’t get the belt completely on rotate the clutch so the belt rotates on. Torque secondary clutch bolt to 15 ft/lb.
Torque primary clutch bolt to 45-47 ft/lb.


12. Install the plastic clutch cover, making sure it seals properly. Install the small metal clip back onto the machine.

Tighten the clamps or zip ties to seal the vent tube on top of the clutch cover. Install the side panel and seat.
Install the foot rest and prepare to ride.


13. If after riding the machine something doesn’t seem right, double check that the secondary clutch has been

assembled correctly.



NOTICE: Even with this clutch kit, you should be advised that using substantial throttle when the tires are not able to
spin can cause the belt to slip and damage may occur. EPI recommends that the transmission be shifted into low
range when high load, slower speed situations are encountered. EPI is not responsible for any damage to the drive
belt or any other original equipment component.
