
NOTE: Push down on the belt
with the ruler only until the bot-
tom of the belt flexes upward;
then read the amount of deflec-
tion.
5. To correct drive belt deflection,
remove the sheave adjuster
from the pulley, remove or add
shim washers to the adjuster,
and install the adjuster.

NOTE: Adding shim washers
will decrease belt deflection;
removing shim washers will
increase belt deflection.
6. Install the belt guard; then close
the access panel.
DRIVE CLUTCH AND DRIVEN
PULLEY
— Keeping the drive clutch
and driven pulley clean should be the
primary consideration of the operator.
The drive clutch and driven pulley can
be cleaned of any drive belt accumula-
tion using compressed air. The sheaves
can be cleaned using a clean cloth and
parts-cleaning solvent.
DRIVE CLUTCH/DRIVEN PUL-
LEY OFFSET — If premature drive
belt wear is experienced or if the drive
belt turns over, offset must be checked.
Also, offset must be checked whenever
either the drive clutch or driven pulley
is serviced.

NOTE: For checking offset, it is
necessary to use Clutch Alignment
Bar (p/n 0644-496). This special
tool can be purchased from an
authorized Arctic Cat snowmobile
dealer.
To check offset, use the following pro-
cedure.
1. Open the left-side access panel;
then remove the belt guard.
2. Install the clutch alignment bar
between the drive clutch sheaves.
3. Allow the bar to rest on the drive
clutch shaft and against the outside
edge of the driven pulley station-
ary sheave.

NOTE: The alignment bar must
extend beyond the front edge of
the drive clutch.
4. With the bar against the outside
edge of the driven pulley station-
ary sheave at points A and B, the
bar should just clear the inside
edge of the stationary sheave of
the drive clutch and rest on the sta-
tionary shaft at point C. If the bar
either will not clear the inside edge
or is more than the specified
amount (1.507 in.), the offset must
be corrected.
