MAINTENANCE

Clutch System

Drive Belt Deflection

Measure belt deflection with both

clutches at rest and in their full

neutral position.
Place a straight edge on the belt (A)

and apply downward pressure while

measuring at point B. This

measurement should be 1 1/4”.

Drive Belt Adjustment

1. Loosen the 7/6” jam nut on the belt width adjuster.
2. Using a 1/8” Allen wrench, adjust the threaded set screw (C) as

needed. NOTE: Turn the set screw in (clockwise) to increase the

distance between the sheaves and out (counterclockwise) to

decrease the distance.

3. Tighten the jam nut.

Clutch Center Distance

See your Owner’s Manual Supplement for recommended center

distance for your machine. If adjustment is necessary, see your dealer.

Due to tolerances in belt length, it may be necessary for your dealer to

make minor adjustments in the driven clutch to achieve correct belt

tension.

Torque Stop

If your snowmobile is equipped

with an engine torque stop (1),

periodically check torque stop

clearance. With clutches in

proper alignment, the torque stop

clearance should be a minimum

of .010″ to a maximum of .030″

from the engine case (2). Adjust

if necessary, and lock the jam

nut.
