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. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the drain plug. Allow the water to drain completely. Reinstall the
drain plug.
3. Start the engine. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. 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 5
seconds.
5. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the transmission to
low range.
6. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process. Your vehicle
requires service as soon as possible, which your POLARIS dealer can
provide
BATTERY
WARNING
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an
explosion and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery,
always disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the
battery, always connect the negative (black) cable last.
Your ATV is equipped with a sealed battery, which requires little maintenance.
POLARIS does not recommend using a conventional battery in this vehicle. The
orientation of the battery could result in electrolyte leakage, which would shorten
the life of the battery considerably.
Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If cleaning is
necessary, remove corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash with a solution of one
tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry off
with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum
jelly.
