least, to water below the footrests.

intrusion is evident.
3. Turn the fuel valve off.
4. Remove the spark plug.
5. Loosen the carburetor drain screw (1).
6. Turn the engine over several times
using the electric start.
7. Dry the spark plug and reinstall, or replace it with a new plug.

9. Turn the fuel valve on.
10. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying
procedure.
11. Take the ATV to your dealer for service as soon as possible,
whether you succeed in starting it or not.

on page 96 for drying out the PVT.
