How To Avoid CVT Drive Belt and Component Failure
CVT clutch and belt life can be dramatically extended by avoiding these common operating mistakes:
Causes CVT damage:
Attempting to load the vehicle onto a truck bed or tall
trailer in high gear�
Starting out on a steep incline in high gear�
Constant driving at low RPM, driving at just
above clutch engagement RPM, or at low speed
(approximately 3mph~7mph [5km/h~10km/h]) in high
gear�
Insufficient warm-up of CVT exposed to low ambient
temperatures
Slow throttle and easy CVT engagement�
Towing/pushing at low RPM/low ground speed.
Utility use/plowing snow, dirt, etc.
Heavy vehicle load operating at low speed
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Shift transmission to low gear during loading of the
vehicle to prevent belt burning.
When starting out on steep inclines, use low gear.
Low gear is highly recommended for cooler CVT
operating temperatures and longer component
life. Drive at a higher speed or use low gear more
frequently.
Warm the engine before driving, the CVT drive belt
will become more flexible and prevent belt burning.
Use the throttle with purpose and effectively for
efficient CVT clutch engagement.
