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 recommended in the owner's manual and on safety labels. • 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 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. Allow hot components to cool before performing this procedure. 2. Remove the engine access cover and thoroughly clean all debris from the aluminum debris bracket and from the engine compartment. Debris Bracket Remove ALL Debris 72
