DRIVE BELT SERVICE
BELT REMOVAL
NOTE
Inspect the entire clutch outlet duct when replacing a
drive belt. Remove any debris found in the outlet duct or
outlet duct screen.
1. Tilt up the rear cargo box. Remove the screws (A)
retaining the airbox to the frame. Move the airbox out
of the way to ease of clutch cover removal.
2. Remove the fasteners (B) retaining the outer clutch
cover.
3. Remove the outer clutch cover from the vehicle.
4. Mark the drive belt direction of rotation so that it can
be installed in the same direction.
5. Push down hard on the top of the belt and squeeze
the belt together between the drive and driven clutch
so the belt moves down into the driven clutch.
NOTE
Loosen the driven clutch retaining bolt to help spread
the clutch sheaves.
6. Remove belt off the bottom of the driven clutch and
slowly turn the driven clutch counter-clockwise to aid
in removal.
