MAINTENANCE
Vehicle Immersion
NOTICE: 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 BRUTUS to a dealer before
starting it, follow the steps outlined below.
1. Move the vehicle to dry land or at the very least, to water
below the floorboards.
2. Drain water from the intake drain valve and thoroughly
dry the pre-filter box (located at the left ROPS/OPS post).
See page 95.
3. Dry any water that is present in the air cleaner housing.
Filter replacement is required if water is present.
4. Remove the air intake resonator box and drain any water
that is present. Dry the box thoroughly.
NOTICE: If you believe water has entered the engine, Do Not start
the engine. Engine damage will result. Take the vehicle to
your dealer before starting the engine.
5. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as pos-
sible, whether you succeed in starting it or not.
6. Check the hydraulic fluid and differential fluid. If any
indication of moisture is present, replace the fluid and fil-
ters.
