MAINTENANCE
General Maintenance
Clutch Center Distance
See your Owner’s Manual Specification Supplement for recommended
center distance for your machine. If adjustment is necessary, see your
dealer. Due to tolerances in belt length, it may be necessary for your
dealer to make minor adjustments in the driven clutch to achieve
correct belt tension.
Torque Stop
If your snowmobile is equipped
with an engine torque stop (1),
periodically check torque stop
clearance. With clutches in
proper alignment, the torque stop
clearance should be a minimum
of .010″ to a maximum of .030″
from the engine case (2). Adjust
if necessary, and lock the jam
nut.
Reverse Kit Maintenance
If your snowmobile is equipped with reverse, or if you have a reverse
kit installed, it’s especially important to maintain track tension as
specified on page 150.
Allow the engine to reach idle speed before attempting to shift into or
out of reverse.
2 1
If specified track tension is not maintained, serious damage to the
snowmobile may occur, which can result in loss of vehicle control.
Loss of control can result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING
If machine has not come to a complete stop before shifting,
damage will occur to chaincase or transmission.
