To prevent the engine from inadver-
tently starting, disable the electri-
cal system before attempting to
remove the CVT belt.
Be sure that the engine and exhaust components
are cool before attempting any service.
Do not allow fingers to become trapped between the
belt and clutch sheave.
Use only sockets designed for use with an impact
wrench. Never use a socket intended for use with
hand tools.
NOTICE: Do not use the brake and throttle at the
same time. Doing so may damage the CVT system
and impair functioning of the vehicle.
CVT Belt Break-in
The CVT belt break-in period is the first hour of operation
on each new belt.
During the CVT belt break-in period, follow the same
guidelines as described for engine break-in operation.
See Engine Break-In on page 110.
CVT Belt Inspection
Fig. 2 CVT Belt
The CVT is located under the driver side of the truck bed
(Ref. Fig. 2). Remove the bed, rear fender liner, side
panel and skid plate to access the clutch cover.
1.
Remove the air outlet and inlet hoses from the CVT
cover.
2. Remove the CVT cover screws (17) and the CVT
cover to access the CVT belt.
3. Inspect the belt. The CVT belt will require no service
unless the vehicle has been operated in an
extremely dusty or muddy location, in which case it
should be washed with plain water. If the belt
becomes frayed or badly worn, it must be replaced.
Check and replace the CVT belt at the intervals indicated.
See SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHART on
page 166. See REPLACEMENT OF MAINTENANCE
ITEMS on page 168.
CVT Belt Replacement
With the vehicle on level ground, remove the CVT belt by
pulling the belt upward, causing the secondary clutch
sheaves to open and loosen the belt tension. The belt can
then be rolled off the secondary clutch (Ref. Fig. 3).
A new belt can be rolled on with the same method.
