WARNING
The CVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts of force on clutch
components. However, as the owner you have the following responsibilities to make
sure this system remains safe:

Do not modify any component of the CVT system. Doing so may reduce its
strength and failure may occur at high speeds then. Any modification will cause the
system to be out of balance, creating vibrations and additional loads on components.

Routine maintenance is the responsibility of the owner. Always follow
recommended maintenance procedures. See your dealer!

The CVT housing must be securely in place during operation.
Failure to comply with this warning can result in severe injury or death.
Using Low Range May Reduce CVT Operating Temperatures
The basic operation of the CVT system is dependent on engine speed and vehicle
torque requirements. As engine speed increased, the force exerted on the movable
drive sheave by the fly-weights also increases. This, in turn, increases the amount of
“pinch” applied to the drive belt. Similarly, if the engine speed decrease, the amount
of centrifugal; force decreases, reducing the amount of belt “pinch.
On this UTV, the approximate gear ratio difference between High and Low range is
1:1.88. This difference affects the function of the CVT, especially at speeds lower
than 11 km/h, due to the system’s dependence on engine rpm.
By shifting the Low range when operating at low speeds, the CVT clutch temperature
will be reduced. Reducing the temperature inside the clutch cover extends the life of
the CVT components (belt, cover, etc.).
When To Use Low Range
The following lists provide a guideline when to use low range rather than high.
Low Range:

Operating at speeds less than 11 km/h

Pulling heavy loads

Riding through rough terrain (swamps, mountains, etc.) at low speeds
High Range:

Operating at speeds higher than 11 km/h

High speeds
