MAINTENANCE POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) 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 PVT system. Doing so may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The PVT system has been precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components. The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts of force on clutch components. As the owner, you have the following responsibilities for your own safety and the safety of others: • Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. Always look for and remove debris inside and around the clutch and vent system when replacing the belt. • See your dealer as outlined in the owner's manual. • This PVT system is intended for use on POLARIS products only. Do not install it in any other product. • Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during operation. Belt Replacement/Debris Removal If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the clutch air duct and from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt. WARNING! Failure to remove ALL debris when replacing the belt could result in vehicle damage, loss of control and severe injury or death. 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Block the wheels to prevent vehicle movement. Place the transmission in neutral. 2. Lift the cargo box. 3. Remove the clutch cover screws using a 3/8" socket with ratcheting wrench and extension. Step 3 4. Pull the bottom of the cover outward and over the suspension to remove it. 5. Make sure the cover gasket does not fall out of the groove when removing the cover. 6. Squeeze the belt together so that it submarines further into the driven clutch, creating slack in the belt between the clutches. 7. Remove the belt by using the slack to pull part of the belt off the driven clutch. Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 71
