CVT System Drying
NOTE: If operating the RZR in wet conditions, be
sure to check the CVT cover and both air ducts for
proper sealing to reduce the chance of water
ingestion. Refer to Owner’s Manual for Safe Riding
Tips and operational guidelines for wet conditions.
1. To drain any water that may be trapped inside the
CVT area, remove the CVT drain plug and O-ring
located on the bottom of the crankcase and let the
water drain out. The CVT drain plug is shown at right.
2. To further expel water from the CVT area cover and
to dry out the CVT system, shift the transmission to
neutral and rev the engine slightly to expel the
moisture. This will also air-dry the belt and clutches.
3. Allow engine RPM to settle to idle speed, shift
transmission to lowest available range and test for belt
slippage. Repeat as needed.
CVT Overheating / Water Ingestion Diagnostics
During routine maintenance or whenever CVT system
overheating is evident, check the inlet and outlet ducts for
obstructions. Obstructions to air flow through the ducts will
significantly increase CVT system operating
temperatures. Be sure all air ducts and connecting boots
are in good condition and tightly sealed (clamps are in
place and tight).
