When To Use Low Range and High Range

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 operat-

ing.
1. Remove the drain plug. Allow the water to drain completely. Rein-

stall the drain plug.

2. Start the engine. Place the transmission in neutral. Apply varying

throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and air-dry the belt

and clutches.

NOTE:

Do not hold the throttle wide open for more than 10 seconds.

3. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the trans-

mission to the lowest available range.

4. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
5. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible.
