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. Rotate the driven clutch
counterclockwise 1/4 turn by hand to ensure forward engagement
before attempting to remove the belt.
1. Stop the engine after operating 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 and remove the left side panel.
5. Rotate the driven clutch counterclockwise 1/4 turn by hand to
ensure forward engagement.
6. Locate the L-wrench in the tool kit. Install the wrench into the open
threaded hole in the outer sheave of the clutch.
7. 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.
8. Grasp the belt at the lower edge and remove it.
