Pvt Break-In (Drive Belt / Clutches); Maintenance / Inspection - Polaris RANGER XP 900 2013 Manual

CLUTCHING

PVT BREAK-IN (DRIVE BELT / CLUTCHES)

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. Break in the clutches
and drive belt by operating at slower speeds during the 10 hours as recommended (see Chapter 3 "Engine Break-In
Period" for break-in example). Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.

MAINTENANCE / INSPECTION

Under normal use the PVT system will provide years of trouble free operation. Periodic inspection and maintenance is
required to keep the system operating at peak performance. The following list of items should be inspected and
maintained to ensure maximum performance and service life of PVT components. Refer to the troubleshooting
checklist at the end of this chapter for more information.
1. Belt Inspection.
2. Drive and Driven Clutch Buttons and Bushings, Drive Clutch Shift Weights and Pins, Drive Clutch Spider
Rollers and Roller Pins, Drive and Driven Clutch Springs.
3. Sheave Faces. Clean and inspect for wear.
4. PVT System Sealing. Refer to the appropriate illustration(s) on the following pages. The PVT system is air cooled
by fins on the drive and driven clutch stationary sheaves. The fins create a low pressure area in the crankcase
casting, drawing air into the system through an intake duct. The opening for this intake duct is located at a high
point on the vehicle (location varies by model). The intake duct draws fresh air through a vented cover. All
connecting air ducts (as well as the inner and outer covers) must be properly sealed to ensure clean air is being
used for cooling the PVT system and also to prevent water and other contaminants from entering the PVT area.
This is especially critical on units subjected to frequent water forging.
