MAINTENANCE Clutch System Drive Belt Condition 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. See Drive Belt Troubleshooting on page 105. Always carry a spare drive belt. Store the spare belt in the belt clip located under the left side of the hood. For improved drive-away during extremely cold temperatures, remove the belt and warm it to room temperature. Reinstall it before starting the snowmobile. Drive Belt Deflection Measure belt deflection with both clutches at rest and in their full neutral position. Place a straight edge (1) on the belt and apply downward pressure while measuring at point 2. This measurement should be 1 1/8 inches (2.9 cm). 2 1 Drive Belt Adjustment 1. Loosen the two 6mm jam nuts on the belt width adjuster. 2. Using a 3mm Allen wrench, turn the set screw inward (clockwise) to increase the distance between the sheaves or outward (counterclockwise) to decrease the distance. 3. Tighten the jam nuts. 83
