PVT Inspection / Drying Procedure

IMPORTANT: If operating the ATV in or through
water, be sure to check the PVT cover and other
components for water ingestion. The ATV should be
checked immediately.
1. To release any water that maybe trapped in the PVT
cover, simply remove the PVT drain plug and O-ring
(A) located on the bottom of the PVT cover and let
the water drain out. The PVT drain plug is shown
below.
2. To further expel water from the cover and to dry out
the PVT system, shift the transmission to neutral and
rev engine slightly to expel the moisture and air-dry
the belt and clutches. Allow engine RPM to settle to
idle speed, shift transmission to lowest available
range and test for belt slippage. Operate ATV in
lowest available range for a short period of time until
PVT system is dry.

Engine Ground

Inspect engine-to-frame ground cable connection (D). Be
sure the connection clean and tight.
