Maintenance will include proper cleaning and lubrication of the driver and drivenbushings. This should be performed at least semi-annually. Weekly inspections of thethree wear plugs is recommended before damage occurs to the driven unit (larger pulley).Replacement of the wear plugs can prevent costly overhaul of the driven unit.

Upon cleaning the driven unit, if the wear plugs appear worn or missing, they must be replaced. Failure to do this will result in the cam unwinding the spring.

Keep the belt dry when running. Do NOT get oil or lubrication on the belt or the in-side of the sheaves where belt contact is made or excess slip will occur. Oil/lubrication must be cleaned off prior to using your kart or you will destroy the belt.

Only use the belt provided, it has been designed to open the driven unit sheaves to the proper dimension for the highest speed range. If your belt shows signs of uneven wear, it may be due to the engine crankshaft and jackshaft not being aligned perfectly parallel.

Your variable speed drive system should be mounted on parallel shafts - the driver on the engine crankshaft parallel to the driven on the jackshaft. In idle, the belt should be straight in the sheaves and square to the crankshaft and jackshaft. DO NOT FLOAT the driver unit on the crankshaft. Only the driven unit floats on the jackshaft to align with the driver unit as it attains the various speed ratios. The sprocket mounted on the jackshaft must be aligned parallel with the rear sprocket. Misalignment can cause damage to the chain. The driver unit must always be in neutral to move in reverse. Any backwards movement while your Variable Speed Drive System is engaged may cause damage, such as:

• unwinding the spring in the driven unit
• breaking the wear plugs
• or damaging the cams.
• Such action is caused by the driver and will not be covered under warranty
