TROUBLESHOOTING

Drive Belt Wear/Burn

Cause

Solution 

Driving at low RPM

Drive at higher RPM. Gear the machine down. Check belt 
deflection.

Insufficient warm-up

Warm the engine at least five minutes. Take the drive belt 
off the machine in extremely cold weather and warm it 
up. Break machine loose from the snow.

Towing at low RPM

Do not tow in deep snow. Use fast, aggressive throttle to 
engage clutch.

Riding with high RPM 
and slow speed (8000 
RPM/10 MPH)

Lower the gear ratio. Reduce RPM. Avoid riding in high 
ambient temperatures. Check for snow ingestion.

Ice and snow build-up 
between track and tunnel

Warm the engine at least five minutes. Take the drive belt 
off the machine in extremely cold weather and warm it 
up. Break machine loose from the snow.

Poor engine performance

Check for fouled plugs or water, ice, or dirt in the gas tank 
or fuel line.

Loading machines onto 
trailers

Skis may gouge into trailers and prevent the drivetrain 
from spinning properly. Use enough speed to drive the 
machine completely onto the trailer. Push and pull it to 
finish loading if necessary.

Clutch malfunction

Inspect clutch components. See your dealer.

Slow, easy clutch engage-
ment

Use fast, aggressive throttle to engage clutch.

Wrong or missing belt

Always use the recommended belt.

Improper break-in

Always break in a new belt and/or clutch by avoiding 
aggressive or high speed operation during the break-in 
period.

original term of the warranty. The duration of this warranty may vary by international 
region based upon local laws and regulations.

At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer 
and submitted to POLARIS within ten days of purchase. Upon receipt of this 
registration, POLARIS will record the registration for warranty. No verification of
