MAINTENANCE

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 operating.
1. Move the vehicle out of the

water.

2. Remove the PVT drain plug. Use

a 17 mm wrench, a flat screw-

driver, or the spark plug wrench.

3. Allow the water to drain com-

pletely. Reinstall the drain plug.

4. Start the engine. Place the trans-

mission in neutral.

5. Apply varying throttle for 10-15

seconds to expel the moisture

and air-dry the belt and clutches.

NOTE:

Do not hold the throttle wide

open for more than 10 seconds.

6. Allow the engine RPM to settle

to idle speed, then shift the trans-

mission into forward gear.

7. Test for belt slippage. If the belt

slips, repeat the process.

8. Take the vehicle to your dealer

for service as soon as possible.
