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 operating.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the drain plug. Allow the water to drain completely. Reinstall the
drain plug.
3. Start the engine. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and air-dry the
belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for more than 5
seconds.
5. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the transmission to
low range.
6. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process. Your vehicle
requires service as soon as possible, which your authorized dealer can
provide.
