MAINTENANCE
POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System
Belt Replacement/Debris Removal
9. Slide the front of the belt out from
between the drive clutch and inner clutch
cover to completely remove it.
10. Remove all debris wrapped in and
around the PVT system.
11. Remove all debris from the entire clutch
air duct passage.
12. Check for signs of damage to seals on the
transmission and engine. See your dealer
promptly for service if any seals appear
to be damaged.
Tip: Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive
heat that destroys belts, wears clutch
components and causes outer clutch covers
to fail. Switch to low range while operating at
slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT
components (belt, cover, etc.).
13. To install a belt, place one end of the belt
over the driving clutch. Route the belt
over the top of the driven clutch and
down into the groove of the clutch to
allow slack in the belt. Rotate the driven
clutch by hand until the belt falls into
place.
14. Reinstall the clutch cover in the reverse
order of removal, fitting the top of the
cover into place, then working the
bottom of the cover over the
suspension.
15. Install all clutch cover screws. Torque
to 4-5 ft. lbs. (5.5-6.5 Nm).
