General Maintenance
Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt, and
always carry a spare belt. For improved drive-away during extremely
cold temperatures, remove the belt and warm it to room temperature.
Reinstall it before starting the snowmobile.

and the engine has come to a
complete stop. Remove the
retaining pin and open the
clutch guard.

brake if equipped).
3 Grasp the belt firmly
midway between the clutches
and pull upward and
rearward. Remove the belt.

belt tension adjuster bolts
