Before starting the snowmobile in
extremely cold temperatures, the
drive belt should be removed and
warmed up to room temperature.
Once the drive belt is at room tem-
perature, install the drive belt.
Also, drive belts have a break-in
period of approximately 20 miles.
After installing a new drive belt,
drive the snowmobile for 20 miles at
1/2 throttle or less. This will allow
the drive belt to gain its optimum
flexibility and will extend drive belt
life.
Removing Drive Belt
NOTE: Changing a drive belt
can be done by the snowmobile
owner if qualified to do so. If the
owner does not feel qualified,
take the snowmobile to an autho-
riz ed Arctic C at Snowmobile
dealer for this service. This ser-
v i ce is a t t h e d i s c r e t i o n a n d
e x p e n s e o f t h e s n o w m o b i l e
owner.
NOTE: The drive belt can be
removed and installed by opening
the left-side access panel and
pushing in on the driven torque
bracket (cam) to separate the
sheaves.
1. Turn ignition key to the OFF
position and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
2. Set the brake lever lock.
3. Open the left-side access panel.
4. Using the spark plug wrench,
screwdriver, and Belt Deflec-
tion Tool (p/n 0644-435) from
the tool kit, remove the sheave
adjuster from the end of the
driven pulley. Account for and
remove the O-ring and shim
washers. Note the orientation of
the components for installing
purposes.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The sheave adjuster has
left-hand threads.
5. With the O-ring and shim wash-
ers removed, carefully thread
the sheave adjuster back into
the driven pulley; then tighten
the adjuster with the deflection
tool/screwdriver/spark plug
wrench assembly until it bot-
toms against the input shaft.
NOTE: By bottoming the sheave
adjuster against the input shaft,
the sheaves of the driven pulley
will spread far enough to allow
the removal of the drive belt.
6. Remove the drive belt from the
drive clutch and driven pulley.
Installing Drive Belt
1. Place the drive belt (so the part
number can be read) between
the sheaves of the drive clutch
first; then between the sheaves
of the driven pulley.
