WARNING
Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result in severe injury
or death.
Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so may reduce its
strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The PVT system has been
precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of
balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.

clutch components. Extensive engineering and testing has been conducted to
ensure the safety of this product. However, as the owner, you have the
following responsibilities to make sure this system remains safe:
Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. Always look for
and remove debris inside and around the clutch and vent system when
replacing the belt.
See your POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, for service and repair
assistance.

install it in any other product.
Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during operation.
