How To Avoid CVT Drive Belt and Component Failure
CVT clutch and belt life can be dramatically extended by avoiding these common operating mistakes:
CVT Fail Reason How To Avoid CVT Failure
Attempting to load the vehicle onto a truck bed
or tall trailer in high gear�
Shift transmission to low gear during loading of the ATV to
prevent belt burning.
Starting out on a steep incline in high gear� When starting out on an incline, use low gear or dismount
the
ATV (after rst applying the park brake) and perform the K-
turn�
Constant driving in high gear at low RPM,
driving at just above clutch engagement RPM,
or at low speed (approximately 3mph~6mph
[5km/h~10 km/h])�
Low gear is highly recommended for cooler CVT operating
temperatures and longer component life� Drive at a higher
speed or use low gear more frequently�
Insufficient warm-up of CVT exposed to low
ambient temperatures.
Warm the engine before driving, the CVT drive belt will
become more exible and prevent belt burning.
Slow and easy CVT clutch engagement� Use the throttle with purpose and e󰀨ectively for e󰀩cient CVT
clutch engagement�
Towing/pushing at low RPM/low ground speed� Use low gear only�
Utility use/plowing snow, dirt, etc� Use low gear only�
Heavy vehicle load operating at low speed Use low gear only�
