MAINTENANCE
POLARIS Variable Transmission (PVT) System
PVT Drying
Before washing the vehicle, locate the PVT outlet duct under the right
rear wheel well. Avoid spraying water directly toward the duct when
washing the vehicle from the rear. See page 116.
There may be some instances when water is accidently ingested into the
PVT system. Use the following instructions to dry it out before operat-
ing.
1. Remove both seats. Remove the rear service panel. See page 31.
2. Loosen the lower screws that secure the clutch cover.
3. Allow the water to drain.
4. Tighten the screws.
5. Place the transmission in PARK. Apply the brakes.
6. Start the engine.
7. 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.
8. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes.
Shift the transmission to the lowest available range.
9. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
10. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
