CLUTCHING

BELT INSPECTION

1. Inspect belt for hour glassing (extreme circular wear
in at least one spot and on both sides of the belt).
Hour glassing occurs when the drive train does not
move and the drive clutch engages the belt.
2. Inspect belt for loose cords, missing cogs, cracks,
abrasions, thin spots, or excessive wear. Compare
belt measurements with a new drive belt. Replace if
necessary.
3. Belts with thin spots, burn marks, etc., should be
replaced to eliminate noise, vibration, or erratic PVT
operation. See the Troubleshooting Chart at the end
of this chapter for possible causes.

BELT INSTALLATION

Be sure to install belt in the same direction as it was
removed.
1. Install belt over drive clutch and start to install belt
over driven clutch. While pushing down on the belt,
turn the driven clutch clockwise. Work the belt down
in the clutch to give more slack. Note: On 2014 Non-
EBS Models the driven clutch mounting bolt should
be loose to allow the clutch sheaves to spread.
Torque driven clutch mounting bolt to specification.

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 hour break-in period as recommended (see
Chapter 3 "Engine Break-In Period" for break-in
example). Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive
acceleration and high speed operation during the break-
in period.
