CVT BREAK-IN (DRIVE BELT / CLUTCHES)
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will
ensure a longer life and better performance. Break in the
clutches and drive belt by operating at slower speeds
during the 10 hour break-in period as recommended (see
Chapter
3 “Engine Break-In Period” for break-in
example). Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive
acceleration and high speed operation during the break-
in period.
MAINTENANCE / INSPECTION
Under normal use the CVT system will provide years of
trouble
free operation. Periodic inspection and
maintenance is required to keep the system operating at
peak performance. The following list of items should be
inspected
and maintained to ensure maximum
performance and service life of CVT components. Refer
to the troubleshooting checklist at the end of this chapter
for more information.
1. Belt Tension, Drive to Driven Clutch Alignment/
Offset, and Belt Inspection.
2. Drive and Driven Clutch Buttons and Bushings,
Drive Clutch Shift Weights and Pins, Drive Clutch
Spider Rollers and Roller Pins, Drive and Driven
Clutch Springs.
3. Sheave Faces. Clean and inspect for wear.
4. CVT System Sealing. Refer to appropriate
illustrations on the following pages. The CVT system
is air cooled by fins on the drive clutch stationary
sheave. The fins create a low pressure area in the
crankcase casting, drawing air into the system
through an intake duct. The opening for this intake
duct is located at a high point on the vehicle (location
varies by model). The intake duct draws fresh air
through a vented cover. All connecting air ducts (as
well as the inner and outer covers) must be properly
sealed to ensure clean air is being used for cooling
the CVT system and also to prevent water and other
contaminants from entering the CVT area. This is
especially critical on units subjected to frequent water
fording.
