MAINTENANCE
POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System
Belt Replacement/Debris Removal
3. Remove all debris from the
entire clutch air duct passage.
4. Check for signs of damage to
seals on the transmission and
engine. See your dealer
promptly for service if any
seals appear to be damaged.
Tip: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.).
PVT Drying
There may be some instances when water is accidently ingested into the
PVT system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operat-
ing.
1. Remove the clutch cover drain plug.
2. Allow the water to drain. Reinstall the drain plug.
3. Place the transmission in PARK. Apply the brakes.
4. Start the engine.
5. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and
air-dry the belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for
more than 10 seconds.
6. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes.
Shift the transmission to the lowest available range.
7. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
8. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
