Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) System
PVT Drying
There may be some instances when water is accidently ingested into
the PVT system. Use the following instructions to dry i t out before
operating.
1. Shift t he transmission into neutral and apply full throttle for no
longer than 10 seconds and repeat as necessary. This will expel the
moisture and air dry the belt and clutches.
2. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the
transmission to the lowest available range.
3. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
4. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
WARNING
Failure to comply with the instructions in this warning can result
in severe injury or death.
Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so may
reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed.
The PVT system has been precision balanced. Any modification
will cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and
additional loads on components.
The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts
of force on clutch components. Extensive engineering and
testing has been conducted to ensure the safety of this product.
However, as the owner, you have the following responsibilities to
make sure this system remains safe:
Always follow all recommended maintenance procedures. See
your dealer as outlined in the owner’ s manual.
This PVT system is intended for use on Polaris products only. Do
not install it in any other product.
Always make sure the PVT housing is securely in place during
operation.
