Drive Belt Adjustment; Clutch Center Distance - Polaris Frontier Classic Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE
General Maintenance
Drive Belt Deflection
Measure belt deflection with both
clutches at rest and in their full
neutral position.
Place a straight edge on the belt (A)
and apply downward pressure while
measuring at point B. This
measurement should be 1 1/4".

Drive Belt Adjustment

Belt deflection can be adjusted without removing the clutch from the
jackshaft.
1. Pull the belt into the driven clutch to slightly open the sheaves.
2. Loosen the three bolts on the adjustment cam and turn the cam
counterclockwise to reduce the distance between the sheaves. Do
not rotate past the #1 position.
3. Torque the bolts to 4-6 ft. lbs. (5.5-8 Nm)

Clutch Center Distance

See the specifications section on pages 116-117 for recommended center
distance for your machine. If adjustment is necessary, see your dealer.
Due to tolerances in belt length, it may be necessary for your dealer to
make minor adjustments in the driven clutch to achieve correct belt
tension.
