Drive Belt alignment and tension are pre-set at the factory
and are not adjustable. They are critical for proper operation
of the drive system. Return the vehicle to an ARGO dealer if
rapid belt wear occurs.
7.2.2 CLUTCH MAINTENANCE
Disassembly and repair of the driver and driven clutch requires
special tools. Return the vehicle to an authorized ARGO dealer
if the clutch units need servicing. The following indicates that
clutch service might be required:
• a drop in vehicle performance
• the clutch does not shift smoothly
• the clutch sticks during vehicle operation
• the drive belt wears rapidly
• the vehicle vibrates severely during operation
• the vehicle does not accelerate when the engine speed is
increased with the transmission in gear
• transmission will not shift smoothly into gear at engine
idle.
Clutch Inspection
Inspect the nylon sliders every 50 hours. The nylon sliders are
mounted in the driven clutch moveable pulley. (Figure 7-7).
When the clutch shifts, the cam moves on the nylon sliders.
Replace the nylon sliders before there is aluminium to alumin-
ium contact between the cam and the movable pulley. Driven
clutch disassembly is required to replace the nylon sliders
properly. Return the vehicle to an ARGO dealer for service
.

MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Figure 7-5 Turn the adjustment set screw.
To Remove the Drive Belt
The Invance Driven Clutch (transmission clutch), is
manufactured with a 6mm x 1.0 threaded hole in the clutch
face. This hole is provided to assist in spreading the driven
clutch pulleys apart by threading a 6mm x 1.0 thread bolt in
through the face. This bolt should be a least 2” in length with
full thread. Spreading the pulleys allows for easy removal
and installation of the 127-137HD or 127-159HD (Aurora
950 SX) drive belt. Figure 7-6.
