TROUBLESHOOTING
DRIVE BELT WEAR / BURN
POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Driving onto a pickup or tall
trailer in high range
Use low range.
Starting out going up a steep
incline
Use low range or turn around using the K-turn.
Driving at low RPM or ground
speed (5-11 kmh)
Drive at a higher speed or use low range more frequently.
Insufficient warm-up at low
ambient tempera- tures
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 flex- ible and prevent belt
burning.
Slow/easy clutch engage-
ment
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. 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
Belt slippage from water or
snow ingestion into the PVT
system
Dry out the PVT. Inspect clutch seals for damage if repeated
leaking occurs.
Clutch malfunction See your authorized dealer.
Slippage from failure to warm
up belt
Always warm up the belt by operating below 40 km/h for
1.5 km (8 km or more when temperature is below freezing).
Poor engine performance Check for fouled plugs or foreign material in gas tank or fuel lines.
See your dealer.
Wrong or missing belt Install the recommended belt.
Improper break-in Always break in a new belt and/or clutch.
