TROUBLESHOOTING
Drive Belt Wear/Burn
Possible Cause Solution
Starting out going up a
steep incline
Turn around using the K-turn (see page 62).
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.
Stuck in mud or snow Carefully use fast, aggressive throttle application to
engage clutch.
WARNING! Excessive throttle may cause loss of control
and vehicle overturn.
Climbing over large
objects from a stopped
position
Carefully use fast, brief, aggressive throttle application to
engage clutch.
WARNING! Excessive throttle may cause loss of control
and vehicle overturn.
Belt slippage from water
or snow ingestion into the
PVT system
Dry out the PVT. See page 118. Inspect clutch seals for
damage if repeated leaking occurs.
Clutch malfunction See your POLARIS dealer.
Poor engine performance Check for fouled plugs or foreign material in gas tank or
fuel lines. See your dealer.
Slippage from failure to
warm up belt
Always warm up the belt by operating below 30 mph for
one mile (5 miles 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 page 51.
