Belt dimensions are given in nominal dimensions. There
is a +/- variance for all critical dimensions. Clutch set up
must be inspected when a new belt is installed.
The drive belt is an important component of the converter
system. In order to achieve maximum efficiency from the
converter, drive belt tension (deflection), clutch offset,
and alignment must be adjusted properly.
The belt cord line should be flush with, or slightly above,
the outer circumference of the driven clutch sheaves.
The belt will seat itself in the driven clutch during the
break-in period. Adjust the belt ride out after the break-in
period by re-adjusting belt deflection.
The break-in period for a new drive belt is 30 - 50 miles.
During this time, vary the throttle position under 50% and
limit full throttle use.
Always take time to warm up the belt and driveline prior
to operating the snowmobile. Free track and skis from
the ground before engaging throttle.
BELT INSPECTION
1.
Measure the belt width
q
and replace it if it is worn
severely. Generally a belt should be replaced if the
clutches can no longer be adjusted to provide the
proper belt deflection.
• Project the side profiles and measure from corner to
corner.
• Place a straight edge on each side of the drive belt and
measure the distance where the straight edges
intersect at the top.
2.
Inspect the belt for loose cords, missing cogs,
cracks, abrasions, thin spots or excessive wear
spots. Replace if necessary.
3.
Inspect the belt for hour glassing (extreme circular
wear in at least one spot and on both sides of the
belt). Hour glassing occurs when the drive train does
not move and the drive clutch engages the belt.
