If a belt fails on your Polaris RZR 800, RZR 4 800, RZR S 800, RZR S, RANGER RZR or RANGER RZR S, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt. Failure to remove all debris when replacing the belt could result in vehicle damage, loss of control and severe injury or death.
Allow hot components to cool before changing the belt on your RZR. When installing a new belt, position the belt so the part number can be easily read.
Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts, wears clutch components and causes outer clutch covers to fail. Switch to low range while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).
Note that belt change procedures are the same for two-seat and four-seat models.
