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

NOTICE

After operating in water, the vehicle’s CVT system should be checked immediately. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operating.

  1. Shift the transmission to neutral. Set the parking brake.

  2. Start the engine. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and air-dry the belt and clutches.

    NOTICE

    Do not hold the throttle pedal wide open for more than 5 seconds.

  3. Allow the engine RPM to return to idle, then shift the transmission into gear.

  4. Test the CVT system for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process or remove the outer clutch cover to inspect the CVT system.

    NOTICE

    If the vehicle has ingested a large amount of water into the CVT system and has not been operated for a period of time, be sure to check the CVT system components for water damage.
