146 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT Belt Drive Transmission (CVT) The vehicle is equipped with a belt-driven Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). This automatic drive system, although simple to operate, does require periodic inspection since the drive belt wears with normal use. Inspection should be done by an authorized Kawasaki dealer. Drive belts wear with normal use. Inspection of the transmission drive belt is required at least every 100 hours (when the CVT Check Indicator Light has turned on), 90 days of vehicle use or 1 700 km (1 100 mi.) whichever comes first. An average day of use is calculated as 19 km (12 mi.) per day or 1.1 hours. More frequent inspection is necessary if the vehicle is subjected to hard usage. WARNING HAZARD Neglect, abuse, or failure to maintain the transmission can result in a severely worn or damaged drive belt locking up the transmission and wheels. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Operator can lose control and have an accident resulting in injury or death. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Inspection of the transmission is required at least every 90 days of vehicle use (average 19 km/day or 12 mi/day) not to exceed 1 700 km (1.100 mi) or 100-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 ride the vehicle until damaged components are repaired. Periodic Drive Belt Inspection Requirements j WARNING HAZARD Moving parts are exposed when the torque converter cover is removed. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Moving parts can cause severe bodily injuries and/or catch clothing and cause injury. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Never operate the vehicle without the torque converter cover installed. 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.

km (1.100 mi) or 100-hour vehicle use, since
drive belts wear with normal use. More fre-
quent 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 ride the vehicle until

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.
