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 foot-
rests.
2. Turn the fuel valve off.
3. Check the air box and dry any water.
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.
11. Take the ATV to your dealer for service as soon as possible, whether
you succeed in starting it or not.
12. If water has been ingested into the transmission, follow the proce-
dure on page 74 for drying.
