MAINTENANCE
Clutch System
Periodically inspect clutch sheaves for damage, wear or belt residue. To
maintain optimum performance, clean with non-oil based cleaners such
as isopropyl alcohol.
NOTICE: 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 autho-
rized Polaris dealer. Any unauthorized modifications to clutches, such
as adding or removing weights, will void the warranty.
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.
Clutch Alignment Offset
Clutch alignment offset is important for maintaining optimum perfor-
mance. See your dealer for service and adjustments. A special tool is
required to check for proper alignment.
Clutch Center Distance
See your Owner's Manual Supplement for recommended center distance
for your machine. If adjustment is necessary, see your dealer.
