MAINTENANCE
Clutch System
WARNING
If you become aware of higher than normal clutch engagement or
an unusual vibration or shift pattern, see your dealer immediately.
Do not operate the machine until repairs have been made.
All clutch maintenance and repairs must be performed by an
authorized Polaris dealer . Any unauthorized modifications to
clutches, such as adding or removing weights, will void the
warranty.
CAUTION
The bushings in the weights and rollers of Polaris clutches are
made of a material that may be damaged if lubricated. Do not
lubricate clutch bushings.
Periodically inspect clutch sheaves for damage, wear or belt residue.
To maintain optimum performance, clean with non-oil based cleaners
such as isopropyl alcohol.
Clutch Alignment and Offset
Clutch alignment offset (A) is important for
maintaining optimum performance. See your
Owner’s Manual Supplement for the
recommended offset between the drive and
driven clutches with the belt removed.
Belt width and length must m atch the center
distance of the clutches and sheave width of the
drive clutch. Polaris recommends the use of
O.E.M. belts. Other belts may match the
dimensions, but can drastically change the shift
pattern, resulting in poor performance. See your
dealer for service and adjustments.
NOTE: A worn belt will continue to function, but
will not deliver maximum performance.
Always carry a spare belt in case of an
emergency.
