POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System
The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts of force on clutch components. Failure to follow PVT maintenance and belt replacement instructions can result vehicle damage, loss of control and severe injury or death:
-
Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The PVT system has been precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.
-
Always look for and remove debris inside and around the clutch and vent system when replacing the belt.
-
Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during operation for the safety of riders and bystanders.
-
This PVT system is intended for use on POLARIS products only. Do not install it in any other product.
Always follow all recommended PVT maintenance and belt replacement procedures. An authorized POLARIS dealer can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle
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.).
