General Maintenance
Drive Belt Installation
1. Drop the drive belt over the
drive clutch and pull back the
slack.
NOTE: To ensure satisfactory
belt life, install belts so
they operate in the same
direction of rotation by
positioning the identifica-
tion numbers so that you
can read them. If
required, separate the
sheaves as outlined in
the belt removal proce-
dures.
2. Rotate the L-wrench counter-clockwise to tighten the sheaves while
working the belt to the outer edge of the sheaves.
3. Remove the wrench and store it in the tool kit.
4. Reinstall the side panel.
5. Close and secure the hood.
Drive Belt
Belt width and length must match the center distance of the clutches and
sheave width of the drive clutch. Polaris recommends the use of O.E.M.
belts. Other belts may match the dimensions, but can drastically change
the shift pattern, resulting in poor performance.
NOTE: A worn belt will continue to function, but will not deliver maxi-
mum performance. Always carry a spare belt in case of an
emergency.
