MAINTENANCE

Vehicle Immersion

If your vehicle becomes immersed, major engine damage can result if
the machine is not thoroughly inspected. Take the vehicle to your dealer
before starting the engine. If it's impossible to take your ATV to a dealer
before starting it, follow the steps outlined below.

1. Move the ATV to dry land or at the very least, to water below the

footrests.

2. Check the air box. If water is present, dry the air box and replace the

filter with a new filter.

3. Remove the spark plug.

4. Turn the engine over several times using the electric start.

5. Dry the spark plug. Reinstall the plug or install a new plug.

6. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying

procedure.

7. Take the ATV to your dealer for service as soon as possible, whether

you succeed in starting it or not.

8. If water has been ingested into the PVT, follow the procedure on

page 110 for drying out the PVT.
