Air Filter Housing
Drains
Inspect the "duck bill" drain beneath the
main housing for debris and for proper
sealing.
Remove the tube drain and clean out any
water, oil, or debris. Reinstall and secure
with the clamp.

Draining V-Belt Cover


NOTE: If the vehicle has been
driven through water, the V-belt
cover must be drained of any water.
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the drain bolt from the cover
and allow the water to drain out.
3. Move the shift lever to the neutral
position; then start the engine.
Do not attempt to clear water with the
vehicle in park. The transmission is
locked and belt or clutch damage could
occur.
4. Increase and decrease engine RPM
several times to "blow out" any
water; then stop the engine.
5. Install the drain bolt and tighten
securely.

NOTE: The V-belt and pulleys
should be inspected every 500 miles
and the belt replaced (if necessary).
