5. Remove the bowl drain (1).
6. Remove the crankcase drain screw at
the left front of the engine bottom.
7. Turn the engine over several times
using the electric start.
8. Dry the spark plug and reinstall, or replace it with a new plug.
9. Reinstall the bowl drain.
10. Reinstall the crankcase drain screw.
11. Turn the fuel valve on.
12. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying
procedure.
13. Take the ATV to your dealer for service as soon as possible,
whether you succeed in starting it or not.
NOTE:
If water has been ingested into the PVT, follow the procedure
on page 99 for drying out the PVT.
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.
