Belt Replacement/Debris Removal
If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the duct and from the clutch and engine
compartments when replacing the belt.
WARNING!
Failure to remove ALL debris when replacing the belt could result in vehicle damage, loss
of control and severe injury or death.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Block the
wheels to prevent vehicle movement. Place the
transmission in neutral.
2. Lift the cargo box.
3. Remove the clutch cover screws using an 8mm
socket with ratcheting wrench and extension.
4. Push the cover upward and then pull the bottom
of the cover outward and over the suspension to
remove it.
5. Make sure the cover gasket does not fall out of the groove when removing the cover.
6. Squeeze the belt together so that it submarines further into the driven clutch, creating
slack in the belt between the clutches.
7. Remove the belt by using the slack to pull part of the belt off the driven clutch.
