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.
