Clutch System n Drive Belt Condition MAINTENANCE Belt width and length must match the center distance of the clutches and sheave width of the drive clutch. For this reason, Polaris recommends that only O.E.M. belts be used. Other belts may match the dimensions, but can drastically change the shift pattern, resulting in poor performance. See Belt Troubleshooting on page 118. Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt. Inspect the belt for signs of excessive wear: frayed edges, missing cogs, cracks and excessive looseness. Replace the belt if any of these conditions exist. NOTE: A worn belt will continue to function, but will not deliver maximum performance. Always carry a spare belt in case of an emergency. For improved drive-away during extremely cold temperatures, remove the belt and warm it to room temperature. Reinstall it before starting the snowmobile. 91
