DRIVE / DRIVEN CLUTCHES

Belt Wear / Burn Diagnosis
Possible Cause Of Wear Or Burning
Solution
Driving at or about engagement RPM for extended
periods in all types of conditions
Drive at higher RPM if possible. Gear the machine
down. Make sure belt deflection is at 1.25
²
to
achieve optimum starting ratio
Cold weather startups
Be patient. Warm up engine at least 5 minutes or
until it readily responds to throttle input. For the
quickest most efficient driveaway in extreme cold
weather, take drive belt off machine and bring it in to
a warm environment. Break skis and track loose
from the snow. Engage throttle aggressively for short
durations for initial cold driveaway
Towing another machine at or about engagement
RPM
When possible, do not go in deep snow when towing
another machine. Use fast, effective throttle to en-
gage the clutch. Not all machines are intended for
pulling heavy loads or other machines.
Spinning track while vehicle is stuck (high RPM, low
vehicle speed, high ambient temp. Example: 8000
RPM, 10mph vehicle speed, 60 mph indicated on
speedometer.
Lower the gear ratio. Remove windage plates from
driven clutch. If possible, move to better snow condi-
tions and reduce RPM. Avoid riding in very high am-
bient temperatures.
Ice and snow piled up between track and tunnel
overnight or after stopping for a long period of time
(enough to re-freeze the snow).
Break loose snow and ice under tunnel. Allow longer
than normal warmup. Allow belt to warm sufficiently
and increase grip ability on clutch sheaves. Use fast,
effective throttle when engaging clutch.
Poor running engine
(Bog, Miss, Backfire, etc.)
Maintain good state of tune including throttle and
choke synchronization. Check for fouled spark
plug(s). Check for foreign material in carbs. Make
sure no water or ice in fuel tank, lines, or carbure-
tors.
Loading machine on trailer
Use caution when loading machine. Carbide skags
may gouge into trailer and prevent drive train from
spinning freely. Use enough speed to drive com-
pletely onto trailer. If machine cannot be driven com-
pletely onto trailer, it may need to be pulled or
pushed to avoid belt wear / burning.
Clutch malfunction
Check for correct clutch components.
Slow, easy belt engagement -- easing on the throttle
Use fast, effective throttle to engage the clutch.
