Clutch Alignment and Offset
Clutch center distance and alignment (A) are
crucial to maintaining optimum performance.
See the specifications section on page 112 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.
