V-belt replacement

@
G When replacing the V-belt, make sure that the two
spacers 1 are installed between the secondary
fixed sheave and the secondary sliding sheave.
If the spacers are not positioned correctly, the V-
belt clutch engagement speed will be changed
and the snowmobile may move unexpectedly
when the engine is started.
G Have a Yamaha dealer replace the V-belt and
adjust the gap between the secondary fixed
sheave and the secondary sliding sheave.
Serious injury can occur from the sudden release
of spring tension during sheave disassembly.
@
CAUTION :
@
To ensure proper clutch performance as the V-belt
wears, it is necessary to adjust the gap between the
secondary fixed sheave and secondary sliding
sheave by changing the positions of the spacers.
Have a Yamaha dealer make this adjustment.
