MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Vehicle Immersion

If your ATV has been submerged or overturned in water deeper than the footpeg level, it’s

critical to dry it promptly and properly before starting the engine.

CAUTION

Do not start the engine after an ATV has been in water that exceeds the

recommended depth. Serious engine damage WILL occur. Tow or trailer the ATV to

your dealer for service. In an emergency, perform the temporary drying out procedure

outlined below, which will allow short-term operation only, to drive the ATV to a trailer

or towing vehicle.

Do not perform the following procedures if you don’t feel completely capable, or if you

suspect that water has entered the fuel tank (likely if the water was deep or if the ATV

overturned). Tow or trailer the ATV to your dealer for immediate service.
