MAINTENANCE
PVT System
PVT Drying
There may be some instances when water is ingested into the PVT sys-
tem. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operating.
1. Loosen the bottom screws that secure the clutch cover. Allow the
water to drain. Tighten the screws.
2. Apply the brakes. Start the engine. Engage the park brake. Shift the
transmission to neutral.
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 service
brakes. Release the park brake and shift the transmission to the low-
est available range.
5. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
6. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
