MAINTENANCE
POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System
Belt Replacement/Debris Removal
4. Remove all debris from the
entire clutch air duct passage.
5. Check for signs of damage to
the clutch cover seal. Inspect
the clutch box for signs of
water injestion. Replace
damaged seals.
6. Check for signs of damage to
seals on the transmission and
engine. See your dealer
promptly for service if any
seals appear to be damaged.
Tip: Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts,
wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to
low range while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT
components (belt, cover, etc.).
PVT Drying
There may be some instances when water is accidently ingested into the
PVT system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before
operating.
1. Remove the clutch cover drain plug.
2. Allow the water to drain. Reinstall the drain plug.
3. Place the transmission in PARK. Apply the brakes.
4. Start the engine.
5. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and
air-dry the belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for
more than 10 seconds.
6. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes.
Shift the transmission to the lowest available range.
7. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
8. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
