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 w eights and rollers of Polaris clutches are
made of a material that may be damaged if lubricated. Do not
lubricate clutch bushings.
Periodically inspect the 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 center distance a nd alignment (A) are
crucial to maintaining optimum performance.
The drive belt is a very important part of the drive
system. Belt width and length must match the
center distance of the clutches and sheave width of
the drive clutch. For this reason, P olaris
recommends that only O.E.M. belts be used.
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.
