Water Pump Belt Inspection - Polaris 2002 Snowmobile Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE
General Maintenance
Variable Exhaust System (V.E.S.)
Maintenance of the V.E.S. is limited to a periodic inspection and
cleaning of system components. Every 1000 to 2000 miles, bring the
machine to an authorized Polaris dealer to have the V.E.S.
disassembled, inspected, and cleaned.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and minimize required
maintenance, follow the oil recommendation chart on page 77. The
use of other lubricants may cause improper function of the valve mech-
anism and increase the frequency of required cleaning due to excessive
build-up of carbon deposits.

Water Pump Belt Inspection

Some liquid cooled models
require inspection of the
A
water pump belt at 1500
miles (2400 km). Inspect
belt width (A) and
condition, and replace if
cracked or worn past the
width service limit (.250" /
6.35mm). New belt width
is approximately .345"
(8.75 mm). See your
Polaris dealer if the belt
needs to be replaced.
