Clutch/Belt squeaking.......

[MikeMetzger]

Blew a belt to pieces (it was on its way out) put a brand new belt on, and now it squeaks very annoyingly when Im at a stop. Absolutely awful if I start it and let it warm up with the brake engaged. Anyone else delt with this issue?

The belt is to tight, you will have to adjust it.

Belt deflection is way to tight. Use the allen head bolt with the jamb nut on the side of your secondary to loosen it (by turning it in). Check your manual for specifics.

Is it the correct Genuine POLARIS belt or aftermarket?

I agree with the other 2 posts about the belt being too tight, but it MIGHT be due to a "short" belt

This is one of the most basic of sled maintenance procedures. The owners manual and supplement will tell you how to do this.

Thanks guys! I figured it was something simple.
