Drive Belt Removal

Do not attempt to remove the drive belt after operating in reverse. The snow-
mobile must be stopped after forward motion to prevent damage to compo-
nents 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 operat-
ing 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. 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.
