    What to do if my Polaris 6X6 belt slips due to water or snow in the PVT system?
    • D
      David LewisSep 15, 2025
      If there is belt slippage in your Polaris Offroad Vehicle due to water or snow entering the PVT system, shift the transmission to neutral. Then, using the throttle, vary the engine RPM from idle to full throttle, repeating several times as required. Do not hold the throttle at the full position for more than 10 seconds during this procedure. If repeated leaking occurs, inspect the clutch seals for damage.
