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 it out before operat-
ing.
NOTICE: When washing the vehicle, always avoid spraying water directly
toward the PVT intake duct. See page 108 for recommended
washing procedures.
1. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the clutch box. Allow the
water to drain. Reinstall the drain plug securely.
2. Place the transmission in PARK. Apply the brakes. Start the engine.
3. 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.
4. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes.
Shift the transmission to the lowest available range.
5. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
6. Take the vehicle to your POLARIS dealer for service as soon as
possible.
