MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) System
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.).
When To Use Low Range vs. High Range
Following is a guideline for when to use low range and high range.
Low Range
S When b asic operation i s at speeds less than 7 MPH (11 KPH)
S For heavy pulling
S When operating in rough terrain (swamps, mountains, etc.) at low
ground speeds
High Range
S When b asic operation i s at speeds greater than 7 MPH (11 KPH)
S When operating at high ground speeds
