If your vehicle becomes immersed, major engine damage can result if

the machine is not thoroughly inspected. Take the vehicle to your dealer

If it's impossible to take your ATV to a dealer before starting it, follow

the steps outlined below.
1. Move the vehicle out of the

water.

2. Turn the fuel valve off.
3. Check the air box. If water is

present, dry the air box and

replace the filter with a new filter.

4. Remove the spark plug.
5. Loosen the carburetor drain screw

and drain the carburetor.

6. Turn the engine over several times

using the electric start.

7. Dry the spark plug. Reinstall the plug

or install a new plug.

8. Tighten the carburetor drain screw.
9. Turn the fuel valve on.
10. Attempt to start the engine. If neces-

sary, repeat the drying procedure.

vice as soon as possible, whether you succeed in starting it or not.
