Drive Belt Removal
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.
1. Stop the engine after oper-
ating in a forward motion.
2. Turn the ignition key off.
Wait for the engine to come
to a complete stop.
3. Lock the parking brake.
4. Open the hood.
5. Remove the left side panel.
6. Rotate the driven clutch
counterclockwise 1/4 turn
by hand to ensure forward
engagement before attempting to remove the belt.
7. Locate the L-wrench in the tool kit. Install the wrench into the open
threaded hole in the outer sheave of the clutch (+).
8. Turn the wrench clockwise until the sheaves open far enough to
remove the belt. If the wrench does not turn readily, rotate the
driven clutch counterclockwise an additional 1/4 turn by hand and
try again.
9. Grasp the belt at the lower edge and remove it.
