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
screwdriver, or the spark plug
wrench.
3. Allow the water to drain com-
pletely. Reinstall the drain
plug.
4. Start the engine. Place the
transmission in neutral.
5. Apply varying throttle for 10-
15 seconds to expel the mois-
ture and air-dry the belt and
clutches. Do not hold the
throttle wide open for more
than 10 seconds.
6. Allow the engine RPM to set-
tle to idle speed, then shift the
transmission 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.
