Constant Variable Transmission (CVT) System

WARNING

Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result in severe injury or death.

Do not modify any component of the CVT system. Doing so may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The CVT system has been precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.

  • Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. See your POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, for service and repair assistance.

  • This CVT system is intended for use on POLARIS products only. Do not install it in any other product.

  • Always make sure the CVT housing is securely in place during operation.

CVT Drying

There may be some instances when water is accidently ingested into the CVT system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operating. The drain plug is located on the bottom of the CVT cover.

  1. Remove the CVT drain plug from the bottom of the CVT cover.

  2. Allow the water to drain completely. Reinstall the drain plug.

  3. Start the engine. Place the transmission in neutral.

  4. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and air-dry the belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for more than 10 seconds.

  5. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the transmission into forward gear.

  6. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.

  7. Your vehicle requires service as soon as possible. Your POLARIS dealer can provide this service.

NOTICE
Exposure to salt water will cause corrosion to metal components. If your vehicle is operated in salt water areas, rinse it off frequently with fresh water.
