MAINTENANCE

POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System

Belt Replacement/Debris Removal

8. Rotate the driven clutch by hand

until the belt is completely off.

9. Slide the front of the belt out from

between the drive clutch and inner clutch cover

to completely remove it.

10. Remove all debris wrapped in and around the

PVT system.

11. Remove all debris from the entire clutch air duct

passage.

12. Check for signs of damage to seals on the

transmission and engine. See your dealer

promptly for service if any seals appear to be

damaged.

Tip: Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that

destroys belts, wears clutch components and causes
outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to low range while
operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the
PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).

13. To install a belt, place one end of the belt over

the driving clutch. Route the belt over the top of

the driven clutch and down into the groove of the

clutch to allow slack in the belt. Rotate the driven

clutch by hand until the belt falls into place.
