Drive Belt Wear/Burn

Possible Cause Solution

Driving onto a pickup or tall trailer in high range

Use low range during loading.

Starting out going up a steep incline

Use low range. See warnings on Driving Uphill.

Driving at low RPM or ground speed (3-7 MPH/ 5-11 km/h)

Drive at a higher speed or use low range more frequently.

Insufficient warm-up at low ambient temperatures

Warm the engine at least 5 minutes. With the transmission in neutral, advance the throttle to about 1/8 throttle in short bursts, 5 to 7 times. The belt will become more flexible and prevent belt burning.

Slow/easy clutch engagement

Use the throttle quickly and effectively.

Towing/pushing at low RPM/low ground speed

Use low range only.

Utility use/plowing

Use low range only.

Stuck in mud or snow

Shift the transmission to low range and carefully use fast, aggressive throttle application to engage clutch.

WARNING! Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and vehicle rollover.

Climbing over large objects from a stopped position

Shift the transmission to low range and carefully use fast, brief, aggressive throttle application to engage clutch.

WARNING! Excessive throttle may cause loss of control and vehicle rollover.

Belt slippage from water or snow ingestion into the PVT system

Dry out the PVT (see the PVT Drying section for details). Prevent water from entering the PVT intake duct (see Intake Pre-Filters). Inspect clutch seals for damage if repeated leaking occurs.

Clutch malfunction

Your POLARIS dealer can assist.

Poor engine performance

Check for fouled plugs or foreign material in gas tank or fuel lines. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.

Slippage from failure to warm up belt

Always warm up the belt by operating below 30 MPH (48 km/h) for one mile (1.5 km), or for 5 miles (8 km) or more when temperature is below freezing.

Wrong or missing belt

Install the recommended belt.

Improper break-in

Always break in a new belt and/or clutch. See Vehicle Break-in Period.
