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.

NOTICE
When washing the vehicle, always avoid spraying water directly toward the PVT intake duct. See the Washing the Vehicle section for details.

  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 or authorized person can assist.
