Cvt System Drying; Cvt Overheating / Diagnosis - Polaris PREDATOR 50 2009 Manual

CVT System Drying

NOTE: If operating the ATV through water, be sure
to check the CVT cover and other ATV components
for water ingestion. The ATV should be checked
immediately. Refer to Owner's Manual for Safe
Riding Tips.
1. To drain any water that may be trapped inside the CVT
area, remove the CVT drain plug and O-ring located on the
bottom of the crankcase and let the water drain out. The
CVT drain plug is shown at right.
2. To further expel water from the CVT area cover and to dry
out the CVT system, shift the transmission to neutral and
rev the engine slightly to expel the moisture. This will also
air-dry the belt and clutches.

CVT Overheating / Diagnosis

During routine maintenance or whenever CVT system overheating is evident, it's important to check the inlet and outlet ducts for
obstructions. Obstructions to air flow through the ducts will significantly increase CVT system operating temperatures.
