Drive Belt Removal

1. Stop the engine after operating in a forward motion.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to remove the drive belt after operating in reverse. The

snowmobile must be stopped after forward motion to prevent damage

to components during belt removal.

2. Turn the ignition key off. Wait for

the engine to stop completely.

3. Lock the parking brake (if

equipped).

4. Open the hood.
5. Remove the clutch guard retain-

ing pin and open the clutch

guard.

6. Rotate the driven clutch counter-

clockwise 1/4 turn by hand to

ensure forward engagement

before attempting to remove the

belt.

7. Locate the L-wrench in the tool kit and install it into the open

threaded hole in the outer sheave of the clutch. Rotate the wrench

until the sheaves open far enough to remove the belt.

8. Firmly grasp the belt midway between the clutches and pull upward

and rearward to remove. See illustration.
