132 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT More frequent inspection is necessary if the vehicle is subjected to hard usage. Causes of accelerated Belt Wear Avoid these hard usage conditions to obtain maximum belt life and prevent accelerated belt wear and deterioration. Operating the vehicle in high range while climbing hills, carrying heavy loads, or pulling a trailer. Exceeding maximum vehicle load or trailer weight. Operating in mud or water deeper than recommended. Operating in extremely dusty conditions. Continued operation with excessive belt slippage. Failure to apply the foot and hand brake controls while desending hills. WARNING Neglect, abuse, or failure to maintain the transmission can result in a severely worn or damaged drive belt locking up the transmission and wheels. As a result, operator can lose control and have an accident resulting in injury or death. Inspect the transmission at least every 180 days of vehicle use (average 20 km/day or 13 mi/day) not to exceed 4 000 km (2 500 mi) or 200-hour vehicle use, since drive belts wear with normal use. More frequent inspection is necessary if the vehicle is subjected to hard usage such as pulling a trailer, operating in mud or deep water, or in extremely dusty conditions. If excessive belt slippage occurs, do not drive the vehicle until damaged components are repaired. j Indications of Excessive Belt Slippage Excessive slippage will accelerate belt wear and lead to failure. Recognize these symptoms of excessive belt slippage. If excessive slippage occurs, do not continue to drive the vehicle until all damaged components are repaired. Smell of burning rubber. Visible white smoke. Sluggish initial acceleration or loss of power. Engine rpm is higher for the same vehicle speed. Engine vibration. Belt Protection System and Belt Indicator Light When the drive belt is subjected to such harsh usage, the belt protection system is activated and decreases the engine speed and the belt indicator light starts flashing to warn the operator. Stop using the vehicle under such harsh conditions. Refer to the "Multifunction Meter" section in the GENERAL INFORMATION chapter.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
More frequent inspection is necessary if the vehicle
is subjected to hard usage.
WARNING
Neglect, abuse, or failure to maintain the
transmission can result in a severely worn or
damaged drive belt locking up the transmis-
sion and wheels. As a result, operator can
lose control and have an accident resulting
in injury or death. Inspect the transmission
at least every 180 days of vehicle use (aver-
age 20 km/day or 13 mi/day) not to exceed
4 000 km (2 500 mi) or 200-hour vehicle
use, since drive belts wear with normal use.
More frequent inspection is necessary if the
vehicle is subjected to hard usage such as
pulling a trailer, operating in mud or deep
water, or in extremely dusty conditions.
If
excessive belt slippage occurs, do not drive
the vehicle until damaged components are
repaired.
Causes of accelerated Belt Wear
Avoid these hard usage conditions to obtain maxi-
mum belt life and prevent accelerated belt wear and
deterioration.
•
Operating the vehicle in high range while climbing
hills, carrying heavy loads, or pulling a trailer.
•
Exceeding maximum vehicle load or trailer weight.
•
Operating in mud or water deeper than recom-
mended.
•
Operating in extremely dusty conditions.
•
Continued operation with excessive belt slippage.
•
Failure to apply the foot and hand brake controls
while desending hills.
Indications of Excessive Belt Slippage
Excessive slippage will accelerate belt wear and
lead to failure.
Recognize these symptoms of ex-
cessive belt slippage. If excessive slippage occurs,
do not continue to drive the vehicle until all damaged
components are repaired.
•
Smell of burning rubber.
•
Visible white smoke.
•
Sluggish initial acceleration or loss of power.
•
Engine rpm is higher for the same vehicle speed.
•
Engine vibration.
Belt Protection System and Belt Indicator Light
When the drive belt is subjected to such harsh us-
age, the belt protection system is activated and de-
creases the engine speed and the belt indicator light
starts flashing to warn the operator. Stop using the
vehicle under such harsh conditions.
Refer to the
“Multifunction Meter” section in the GENERAL IN-
FORMATION chapter.
