Pvt Drying - Polaris UTV Series 10 2x4 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) System
The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts
of force on clutch components. Extensive engineering and
testing have been conducted to ensure the safety of this product.
However, as the owner you have the following responsibilities to
make sure this system remains safe:
Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so may
reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at high speeds.
This system has been precision balanced. Any modification will
cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and
additional loads on components.
Routine maintenance is the responsibility of the owner. Always
follow recommended maintenance procedures. See your dealer!
This PVT system is intended for use on Polaris products only.
The PVT housing must be securely in place during operation.
Failure to comply with this warning can result in severe injury or
death.

PVT Drying

There may be some instances when water is accidently ingested into
the PVT system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before
operating.
1. Shift the transmission into neutral and apply full throttle for no
longer than 10 seconds and repeat as necessary. This will expel the
moisture and air dry the belt and clutches.
2. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the
transmission to the lowest available range.
3. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
4. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
