Possible Cause

TROUBLESHOOTING
Solution
Warm engine at least 5 min. With transmission in
neutral, advance throttle to about 1/8 throttle in
short bursts, 5 to 7 times. The belt will become
more flexible and prevent belt burning.
Use the throttle quickly and effectively for effi-
cient engagement.
Shift the transmission to neutral. Using the
throttle, vary the engine RPM from idle to full
throttle. Repeat several times as required. Dur-
ing this procedure, the throttle should not be held
at the full position for more than 10 seconds.
Clutch seals should be inspected for damage if
repeated leaking occurs.
Contact your Polaris dealer.
Fouled plugs, foreign material in gas tank, fuel
lines, or carburetor. Contact your dealer.
