MAINTENANCE
POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System
Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result in severe injury or death.
Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so may reduce its strength so that a failure
may occur at a high speed. The PVT system has been precision balanced. Any modification will cause
the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.
The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts of force on clutch components. As the
owner, you have the following responsibilities for your own safety and the safety of others:
• Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. Always look for and remove debris inside
and around the clutch and vent system when replacing the belt.
• See your dealer as outlined in the owner's manual.
• This PVT system is intended for use on POLARIS products only. Do not install it in any other product.
• Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during operation.
Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts, wears clutch
components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to low range while operating at
slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).
