Belt Replacement / Debris Removal

If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT ducting and from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.

WARNING
Failure to remove ALL debris when replacing the belt could result in vehicle damage, loss of control and severe injury or death.

  1. Allow hot components to cool before performing this procedure.

  2. Thoroughly clean all debris from the PVT outlet duct 1 and from the engine compartment.

  3. Remove the nine (9) clutch cover screws 2.

  4. Remove all debris from the entire clutch air duct passage.

  5. Check for signs of damage to seals on the transmission and engine. If any seals appear to be damaged, your vehicle requires prompt service. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.

    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.)

  6. With the clutch spreader tool 3 installed , loop the belt over the drive clutch and over part of the driven clutch.

  7. Rotate the driven clutch and walk the belt into the clutch.

  8. Remove the clutch spreader tool from driven clutch.

  9. Rotate / spin the driven clutch and belt approximately 5-7 times to properly seat the belt in the driven clutch.

  10. Reinstall clutch cover and nine (9) clutch cover screws. Torque to specifications.
