General Maintenance

Clutch Alignment and Offset

Clutch center distance and alignment (A) are

crucial to maintaining optimum performance.

See the specifications section on pages 120-121

for the recommended offset between the drive

and driven clutches with the belt removed.
The drive belt is a very important part of the drive

system. Belt width and length must match the

center distance of the clutches and sheave width of

the drive clutch. For this reason, Polaris

recommends that only O.E.M. belts be used.

Other belts may match the dimensions, but can

drastically change the shift pattern, resulting in

poor performance. See your dealer for service and

adjustments.
NOTE: A worn belt will continue to function,

but will not deliver maximum performance. Al-

ways carry a spare belt in case of an emergency.
