Drive Belt Condition

Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt, and

always carry a spare. Inspect the belt for signs of excessive wear:

frayed edges, missing cogs, cracks and excessive looseness. Replace

the belt if any of these conditions exist.
For improved drive-away during extremely cold temperatures, remove

the belt and warm it to room temperature. Reinstall it before starting

the snowmobile.

Drive Belt Removal

1. Be sure the key switch is off and the engine has come to a

complete stop. Apply the brake (or lock the parking brake if

equipped).

2. Open the hood. Remove

the left side panel to

access the drive clutch.

3. Locate the L-wrench in

the tool kit. Install the

wrench into the open

threaded hole in the outer

sheave of the clutch (A).

4. Turn the wrench

clockwise until the

sheaves open far enough

to remove the belt.
