Drive Belt Removal - Polaris 340 Classic Owner's Manual

General Maintenance
Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt, and
always carry a spare belt. For improved drive-away during extremely
cold temperatures, remove the belt and warm it to room temperature.
Reinstall it before starting the snowmobile. The following procedures
apply to standard, electronic reverse and TEAM driven clutches.

Drive Belt Removal

1. Be sure the key switch is off and the engine has come to a
complete stop. Apply the brake (or lock the parking brake if
equipped).
2. Open the hood, remove the clutch guard retaining pin and open the
clutch guard.
3. Standard Clutch: Skip to step 4.
TEAM Clutch: Locate the L-wrench in the tool kit and install it
into the open threaded hole in the outer sheave of the clutch.
Rotate the wrench until the sheaves open far enough to remove the
belt.
4. Firmly grasp the belt midway
between the clutches and pull
upward and rearward to remove.
See illustration.
