wears out or fails. With proper maintenance and
proper operation of the machine, a drive belt can
last a full season.
If the drive belt fails after a very short time, there is
some sort of malfunction in the drive system.

NOTE: A stiff belt causes more hp loss to the
track. As a belt warms up, it gets more
flexible and transmits power with less loss.
A drive belt that is worn thin will produce the
t
e effect as one that is too long. New drive belt
v,
.h, measured across the outer edge, is
1~1/4
in. The belt has exceeded the minimum wear limit
when it measures less than 1-1/16 in. The drive
belt should then be replaced.
Drive Belt Construction
A belt that is shorter than specifications will
cause a loss in performance. The clutches will
have a different shift pattern because they are in
different ratios than conditions for which they
were originally matched.
The drive belt construction has an influence on
the way the clutches will shift and on the amount
of power that will be transmitted through the
system. ONLY ARCTIC DRIVE BELTS SHOULD
BE USED. A different brand of belt may not have
the same construction, causing more friction
when the belt is wedged between the sheaves.
This will cause a loss in efficiency.

If the drive belt is longer than specifications
allow, the performance will not be upto standard.
The drive clutches will not have the full shift ratio.
With a long drive belt, the low end ratio may be
2.75:1 instead of 3.79:1 as it should be. This will
cause a bog on engagement and poor accelera-
tion. Also, the top ratio may only be about 1.5:1.
This will cause a loss in top speed.
