Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt width, outside circumference, and section profile before installation. Inspect the CVT clutch faces, sheaves, and housing for wear or contamination, and replace the belt only after the drive system is clean and properly aligned. Confirm application details against your vehicle service information before ordering, especially for Polaris RZR and Can-Am Maverick fitment searches.
