Drive Belt Condition

Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt, and
always carry a spare. Inspect the belt for signs of excessive wear: frayed
edges, missing cogs, cracks and excessive looseness. Replace the belt if
any of these conditions exist. See Drive Belt Troubleshooting on page
123.

Always carry a spare drive
belt for emergency use.
Store the spare belt on top
of the electrical box, which
is mounted to the clutch
cover.

For improved drive-away
during extremely cold tem-
peratures, remove the belt
and warm it to room tem-
perature. Reinstall it before
starting the snowmobile.
