Constant Variable Transmission (CVT) 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 CVT system. Doing so may
reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed.
The CVT system has been precision balanced. Any modification
will cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and
additional loads on components.
The CVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts
of force on clutch components. Extensive engineering and
testing has been conducted to ensure the safety of this product.
However, as the owner, you have the following responsibilities to
make sure this system remains safe:
Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. See
your dealer as outlined in the owner’s manual.
This CVT system is intended for use on Polaris products only. Do
not install it in any other product.
Always make sure the CVT housing is securely in place during
operation.
