Avoiding CVT drive belt and clutch failures
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 ( a pproximately 3mph ~
7mph [ 5 km/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.
