13. CVT SYSTEM
CVT System
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:
l Do not modify any component of the CVT system. Doing so
may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at high
speeds. Any modification will cause the system to be out of
balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.
l Routine maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
Always follow recommended maintenance procedures See you
dealer!
l The CVT housing must be securely in place during operation.
Failure to comply with this warning can result in severe injury or
death.
Low Range Use 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.‖
