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 recommended in the owner’s manual and on safety labels.
• 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.).
