PVT SYSTEM

Drive Clutch / Driven Clutch / Belt Service

Refer to Chapter 5 – PVT System for servicing the belt
and drive/driven clutches.

PVT Duct Cleaning

It is recommended that the PVT intake be inspected
occasionally. The PVT ducts should be inspected using
the following procedure:
1. The PVT intake screen is located just above the left
1
rear wheel fender.
2. Remove the two screws retaining the screen and
inspect inside for signs of debris.
3. Inspect the PVT exhaust duct and grate
near the exhaust head pipe. Clean the grate so air
can flow through unrestricted.
IMPORTANT: The PVT intake and exhaust ducts
MUST be checked for debris in the event of a belt
failure.

system should be checked immediately. Use the
following instructions to dry it out before operating.
The PVT drain plug is located at the bottom of the outer
clutch cover. Access the drain plug through the left rear
wheel well.
1. Using a flat blade screwdriver, remove the PVT drain
plug
2. Allow the water to drain out completely.

start the engine.

moisture and air-dry the belt and clutches.

for more than 5 seconds.
6. Allow the engine RPM to return to idle, then shift the
transmission into low gear.
7. Test the PVT system for belt slippage. If the belt slips,
repeat the process or remove the outer clutch cover
to inspect the PVT system.
NOTE: If the vehicle has ingested a large amount
of water into the PVT system and has not been
operated for a period of time, be sure to check the
PVT system components for water damage.
