TROUBLESHOOTING
Drive Belt Wear/Burn
Possible Cause Solution
Driving at low RPM or
ground speed
Drive at a higher speed.
Insufficient warm-up at
low ambient tempera-
tures
Warm the engine at least 5 minutes. With the transmission
in neutral, apply small amount of throttle in short bursts, 5
to 7 times. The belt will become more flexible and
prevent belt burning.
Slow/easy clutch engage-
ment
Use the throttle quickly and effectively.
Belt slippage from water
or snow ingestion into the
CVT system
Dry out the CVT (see page 57). Prevent water from
entering the CVT inlet and outlet ducts (see page 73).
Inspect clutch seals for damage if repeated leaking
occurs.
Clutch malfunction Your HAMMERHEAD dealer can assist.
Poor engine performance Check for fouled plug or foreign material in gas tank, fuel
filter, and fuel lines. Your HAMMERHEAD dealer can
assist.
Wrong or missing belt Install the recommended belt.
Improper break-in Always break in a new belt and/or clutch. See page 26.
