Alternator Belt Inspection

Inspect the alternator belt condition and tension before each ride.

1. Stop the engine.

2. Open the hood.

3. Inspect the belt for wear,

cracks or other damage. If the
belt is worn or damaged,
install a new belt.

4. Grasp the alternator belt and

attempt to twist it.

5. If the belt rotates 1/4 turn (90

°) or more (as shown), tighten the belt

or install a new belt.

Foam Oil Breather Filter

Clean or replace the breather element at each engine oil change. Inspect
the foam oil breather element any time the snowmobile has been tipped
onto its left side. Clean the element if oil is present. See page 94.
