MAINTENANCE

Clutch System

Periodically inspect the clutch sheaves for damage, wear, or belt resi-
due. To maintain optimum performance, clean with non-oil based clean-
ers such as isopropyl alcohol.

NOTICE: If you become aware of higher than normal clutch engagement or an

unusual vibration or shift pattern, see your dealer immediately. Do not
operate the snowmobile until repairs have been made. All clutch
maintenance and repairs must be performed by an authorized
POLARIS dealer. Any unauthorized modifications to clutches, such as
adding or removing weights, will void the warranty.

NOTICE: The bushings in the weights and rollers of POLARIS clutches are

made of a material that may be damaged if lubricated. Do not
lubricate clutch bushings.

Clutch Alignment Offset

Clutch alignment offset is important for maintaining optimum perfor-
mance. Please see your POLARIS dealer if you experience a decrease in
performance.

Clutch Center Distance

See your Owner's Manual Supplement for recommended center distance
for your machine. If adjustment is necessary, see your dealer.
