PVT Inspection / Drying Procedure
NOTE: 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. Be sure the
connection clean and tight.
Engine Oil Level
The twin engine is a wet-sump engine, meaning the oil is
contained in the bottom of the crankcase. To check the oil level:
1. Set machine on a level surface.
2. Be sure the machine has sat for awhile before removing the
dipstick. Do not run the engine and then check the oil level,
as this will result in an incorrect reading.
3. Unlock the lever lock (A). Remove dipstick (B) and wipe
dry with a clean cloth.
