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 122 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. Take the vehicle to your POLARIS dealer for service as soon as
possible.
