MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Vehicle Immersion
If your ATV has been submerged or overturned in water deeper than the footpeg level, it’s
critical to dry it promptly and properly before starting the engine.
Do not perform the following procedures if you don’t feel completely capable, or if you
suspect that water has entered the fuel tank (likely if the water was deep or if the ATV
overturned). Tow or trailer the ATV to your dealer for immediate service.
1. Turn the fuel valve off.
2. Drain water from the air box and change the air filter (if equipped). See page 112.
3. Drain the fuel/water from the carburetor for about 10 seconds.
4. Remove the spark plug. See page 127.
Do not start the engine after an ATV has been in water that exceeds the recommended
depth. Serious engine damage WILL occur. Tow or trailer the ATV to your dealer for
service. In an emergency, perform the temporary drying out procedure outlined below ,
