MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 121 Belt Drive Transmission (CVT) This 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. 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 drive belt at least every 200 hours of vehicle use or 4 000 km (2 500 mile) whichever comes first, 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. j A. Belt Drive Transmission (CVT) Drive belt wears with normal use.

A. Belt Drive Transmission (CVT)
Periodic Drive Belt Inspection Requirements
Drive belt wears with normal use.
Inspection of
the drive belt is required at least every 200 hours,
of vehicle use or 4 000 km (2 500 mile) whichever
comes first. 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 trans-
mission and wheels.
As a result, operator
can lose control and have an accident re-
sulting in injury or death. Inspect the drive
belt at least every 200 hours of vehicle use
or 4 000 km (2 500 mile) whichever comes
first, 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.
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 brake controls while descend-
ing hills.
