POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT)
System Drying
There may be some instances when water is ingested into the PVT system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operating:
-
Position the vehicle on a level surface.
-
Remove the red drain plug 1 on the outer clutch cover. Allow the water to drain completely. Reinstall the drain plug.
-
Place the transmission in PARK.
-
Start the engine.
-
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 five (5) seconds.
-
Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes. Shift the transmission to the lowest available range.
-
Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
-
Your vehicle requires service as soon as possible. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
