vehicle to your dealer before starting the engine.

If it’s impossible to take your ATV to a dealer before starting it, follow

the steps outlined below.
1. Move the ATV to dry land or at the

very least, to water below the footrests.

2. Check the airbox for any water and

dry it if water is present.

3. Turn the fuel valve off.
4. Remove the spark plug.
5. Loosen the carburetor drain

screw (A).

6. Turn the engine over several times

using the electric start.

7. Dry the spark plug and reinstall, or

replace it with a new plug.

8. Tighten the carburetor drain screw.
9. Turn the fuel valve on.
10. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary,

repeat the drying procedure.

11. Take the ATV to your dealer for service as soon as possible,

whether you succeed in starting it or not.

NOTE: If water has been ingested into the transmission, follow the

procedure on page 80 for drying the CVT.
