Paragon secondary clutch

[Dougie]

I just bought a sled with a Paragon secondary on it. All new to me. know nothing about it. How do you open it up to remove the belt. It would be good to know !! thanks if anyone can help.

Just push on the center area just outside the belt deflection adjuster.
Should have a light spring in it and they open easy .
PS. If it doesn't open its just locked in reverse and rotate the clutch forward just a bit.

There is a threaded hole on the deflection adjuster. Find a bolt that fits. Put a thin feeler guage or thin piece of metal behind the adjuster so that the bolt doesn't dig into the aluminum on the clutch itself. Turn the bolt in and the clutch will open. If it opens a bit and then becomes tough to turn, its in reverse. Rotate the outer sheave to take it out reverse.Make sure that the sled was moved forward under engine power the last time you used it.
