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.
NOTICE: When washing the vehicle, always avoid spraying water directly
toward the PVT intake duct. See page 115 for recommended
washing procedures.
1. Remove the drain plug from
the bottom of the clutch box.
Allow the water to drain.
Reinstall the drain plug
securely.
2. Place the transmission in
PARK. Apply the brakes.
Start the engine.
3. Apply varying throttle for
10-15 seconds to expel the
moisture and air-dry the belt
and clutches. Do not hold the
throttle wide open for more than 10 seconds.
4. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes.
Shift the transmission to the lowest available range.
5. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
6. Your vehicle requires service as soon as possible, which your
POLARIS dealer can provide.
