CVT OVERHEATING/DIAGNOSIS

During routine maintenance or whenever CVT system overheating is evident, it's important to check the inlet and
outlet ducting for obstructions. Obstructions to air flow through the ducts will significantly increase CVT system
operating temperatures. The ATV should be operated in LOW RANGE (if equipped) when pulling or plowing heavy
loads, or if extended low speed operation is anticipated.
