MAINTENANCE General Maintenance Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt, and always carry a spare belt. For improved drive-away during extremely cold temperatures, remove the belt and warm it to room temperature. Reinstall it before starting the snowmobile. Standard Belt Removal 1 Be sure the key switch is off and the engine has come to a complete stop. Remove the retaining pin and open the clutch guard. Apply brake (or lock parking brake if equipped). Grasp the belt firmly midway between the clutches and pull upward and rearward. Remove the belt. Remove ONE of the three A belt tension adjuster bolts (A) and store it in a safe place. Locate the 1 1/2" bolt from the tool kit and install it in the empty tensioner hole. As this bolt is tightened, it will open the sheaves, loosening A A the belt to the point where it can be easily removed. Grasp the belt firmly midway between the clutches and pull upward and rearward. Remove the belt. If a belt is not going to be immediately reinstalled, reinstall the tensioner bolt and store the 1 1/2" bolt in the tool kit of the machine. 2 3 Electronic Reverse Belt Removal 1 2 3 4 132
