MAINTENANCE
Spark plug removal to expel water from the engine
If water has been ingested into the engine, it is important to remove the water as soon as possible by
removing the spark plug(s) and using the starter system to rotate the engine for a short period to expel water
out of the cylinder(s). Verify that the air box has been drained of water before attempting to expel water. Have
a dealer service the engine immediately.
CAUTION
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle if water is ingested into the engine. Have the vehicle serviced
by your dealer promptly if your vehicle becomes immersed or stalls in water that exceeds the footrest level.
It is important to contact your dealer for service before starting the engine if water has been ingested. Water
inside the engine can cause a ‘hydraulic lock’ effect that can damage the starter and engine components.
The engine oil should be checked for water contamination. Drain and refill with new engine oil if water is
found in the crankcase.
