Tips For Maximizing Drive Belt Durability - Can-Am MAVERICK X3 Series 2017 Operator's Manual

Tips for Maximizing Drive
Belt Durability
Riding style and conditions have a di-
rect impact on drive belt durability.
Your vehicle features a CVT system de-
sign that is optimized to offer the best
performance. The CVT and drive belt
have successfully endured thousands
of miles of durability tests. However,
to maximize drive belt durability and
to prevent premature failures, it is im-
portant that the operator understands
the limits of a belt driven CVT system
and adapts their riding style and speed
accordingly.
If riding in any of the conditions listed
below, BRP highly recommends not to
constantly hold the throttle wide open
(WOT) for more than five (5) minutes.
– High ambient temperatures (above
30°C (86°F)
– Heavy loads: Passengers / Heavy
cargo
– Heavy drag: Soft sand / Hill climbing
/ Mud / Using a track kit.
After a few minutes at WOT, partially
release the accelerator and allow the
CVT to cool down.
