MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
PVT System
Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result
in severe injury or death.
Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so
may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high
speed. The PVT system has been precision balanced. Any
modification will cause the system to be out of balance,
creating vibration and additional loads on components.
The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large
amounts of force on clutch components. Extensive engineering
and testing has 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:
Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. See
your dealer as outlined in the owner's manual.
This PVT system is intended for use on Polaris products only.
Do not install it in any other product.
Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during
operation.

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. Move the ATV to dry land, or to water that is at least three inches
below the footwell. Remove the PVT drain plug and allow the
water to drain. Reinstall the drain plug.
2. Start the engine and shift the transmission into neutral. 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.
3. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the
transmission to the lowest available range.
4. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
5. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
