MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
PVT System
The PVT system rotates at high speeds, creating large amounts
of force on clutch components. Extensive engineering and testing
has been conducted to insure the safety of this product. However,
as the owner you have the following responsibilities to make sure
this system remains safe:
S
Do not modify any component of the PVT system. Doing so
may reduce its strength so that a failure may occur at high
speeds. This system has been precision balanced. Any mod-
ification will cause the system to be out of balance, creating
vibration and additional loads on components.
S
Routine maintenance is the responsibility of the owner. Al-
ways follow recommended maintenance procedures. See
your dealer!
S
This PVT system is intended for use on Polaris products only.
S
The PVT housing must be securely in place during operation.
Failure to comply with this warning can result in severe injury
or death.
WARNING
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:
Shift the transmission into neutral and apply full throttle for no longer
than 10 seconds and repeat as necessary. This will expel the moisture
and air-dry the belt and clutches. Allow the engine RPM to settle to
idle speed and shift the transmission to the lowest available range and
test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
