Drive Belt Installation

NOTICE

Always clean the drive belt using a mixture of warm, soapy water. Allow to air dry. When installing the belt, verify POLARIS or the part number can be read from the outside of the snowmobile.

  1. Verify the driven clutch sheaves are open. If they are not, install the L-wrench and open the sheaves.

  2. Drop the drive belt over the drive clutch and pull back the slack.

  3. Hold the belt down between the sheaves and roll the bottom portion over the outer clutch sheave. Work the belt to the outer edge of the sheave.

  4. Turn the L-wrench counterclockwise to tighten the sheaves. Work the belt around the clutches as you remove the L-wrench. Doing so will set the belt in “low gear.” The belt cord line should be flush with, or slightly above, the outer circumference of the driven clutch sheaves when finished.

  5. Reinstall the wrench 1 to the wrench bracket to secure the fender to the console.

  6. Install the spare belt holder.

  7. Reinstall the side panel.

  8. When installing a new belt, follow the belt break-in procedures.
