Drive Belt Removal
1. Stop the engine after operating in a forward motion.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to remove the drive belt after operating in reverse. The
snowmobile must be stopped after forward motion to prevent damage
to components during belt removal.
2. Turn the ignition key off. Wait for
the engine to stop completely.
3. Lock the parking brake (if
equipped).
4. Open the hood.
5. Remove the clutch guard retain-
ing pin and open the clutch
guard.
6. Rotate the driven clutch counter-
clockwise 1/4 turn by hand to
ensure forward engagement
before attempting to remove the
belt.
7. Locate the L-wrench in the tool kit and install it into the open
threaded hole in the outer sheave of the clutch. Rotate the wrench
until the sheaves open far enough to remove the belt.
8. Firmly grasp the belt midway between the clutches and pull upward
and rearward to remove. See illustration.
