MAINTENANCE
Clutch System
Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt, and
always carry a spare belt. For improved drive-away during extremely
cold temperatures, remove the belt and warm it to room temperature.
Reinstall it before starting the snowmobile. The following procedures
apply to standard, electronic reverse and TEAM driven clutches.
Drive Belt Removal
1. Be sure the key switch is off and the engine has come to a
complete stop. Apply the brake (or lock the parking brake if
equipped).
2. Open the hood, remove the clutch guard retaining pin and open t he
clutch guard.
3. Locate the L-wrench in the tool kit and install it into the open
threaded hole in the outer sheave of the clutch. Rotate the wrench
until the sheaves open far enough to remove the belt.
Drive Belt Ins tallatio n
1. Drop the drive belt over the
drive clutch and pull back the
slack (A). NOTE: To ensure
satisfactory belt life, install belts
so they operate in the same
direction of rotation by
positioning the identification
numbers so that you can read
them. If required, separate the
sheaves as outlined in the belt
removal procedures.
2. Rotate the L-wrench to tighten
the sheaves. Remove the
wrench and store in the tool kit.
3. Close the clutch guard and
reinstall the retaining pin.
4. Close and secure the hood and
release the parking brake.
