MAINTENANCE
POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System
Belt Replacement/Debris Removal
8. Rotate the driven clutch by hand until the belt is completely off.
9. Slide the front of the belt out from between the
drive clutch and inner clutch cover to completely
remove it.
10. Remove all debris wrapped in and around the
PVT system.
11. Remove all debris from the entire clutch air duct
passage.
12. Check for signs of damage to seals on the
transmission and engine. If any seals appear to be
damaged, your vehicle requires prompt service.
Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
Tip: Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that
destroys belts, wears clutch components and causes
outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to low range while
operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT
components (belt, cover, etc.).
13. To install a belt, place one end of the belt over the
driving clutch. Route the belt over the top of the
driven clutch and down into the groove of the
clutch to allow slack in the belt. Rotate the driven
clutch by hand until the belt falls into place.
14. Reinstall the clutch cover in the reverse order of
removal, fitting the top of the cover into place,
then working the bottom of the cover over the
suspension.
15. Install all clutch cover screws. Torque to 4-5 ft-lbs
(5.5-6.5 Nm).
