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.
1. Remove the clutch cover drain plug.
2. Allow the water to drain. Reinstall the drain plug.
3. Place the transmission in PARK. Apply the brakes.
4. Start the engine.
5. 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.
6. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes. Shift the transmission to
the lowest available range.
7. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
8. Your vehicle requires service as soon as possible. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
