Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT)
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 addi-
tional 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 sys-
tem remains safe:
Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. See your
dealer if required.
This CVT system is intended for use on the Bush Hog utility vehicle.

Always make sure the CVT housing is securely in place during operation.

CVT system Use the following instructions to dry it out before operating.
1. Shift the transmission into neutral and apply full throttle for no longer
than 10 seconds and repeat as necessary. This will expel the mois-
ture and air dry the belt and clutches.
2. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the trans-
mission to the lowest available range.
3. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
4. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
