MAINTENANCE
PVT System
The basic operation of the POLARIS PVT system is dependent on
engine speed and vehicle torque requirements. As engine speed
increases, the force exerted on the movable drive sheave by the
flyweights also increases. This, in turn, increases the amount of pinch
applied to the drive belt. Similarly, if the engine speed decreases, the
amount of centrifugal force decreases, reducing the amount of belt
pinch.
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. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the drain plug. Allow the water to drain completely.
Reinstall the drain plug.
3. Start the engine. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. 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 5 seconds.
5. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the
transmission into gear.
6. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
7. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
