100 SAFE OPERATION If any water entered the belt transmission (CVT) housing, it could cause drive belt slippage. To expel the water, remove the bolt at the bottom of the transmission housing and let the water completely out. When the water has stopped coming out, shift to neutral and apply the brake. Then rev the engine up and down for a couple of minutes. Install the bolt securely. Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it is exposed to salt water or operated in muddy conditions. Wet brakes provide little or no efficiency and could lead to an accident and injury. After operation in water, always apply the brakes long enough for the friction to dry the pads. Also, brakes that get wet may wear out faster. Check for brake wear more frequently if the vehicle is used in water. Remember: Don't ride in fast flowing water. Stay out of water deeper than the lower end of the axle cap. Dry out the brakes. Check the air cleaner for water. Check the engine and gear case oils for water. j A. CVT Cover B. Bolt

When the water has stopped coming out, shift to
neutral and apply the brake. Then rev the engine up
and down for a couple of minutes.
Install the bolt securely.
Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it is exposed to
salt water or operated in muddy conditions.
Wet brakes provide little or no efficiency and could
lead to an accident and injury.
After operation in
water, always apply the brakes long enough for the
friction to dry the pads.
Also, brakes that get wet
may wear out faster.
Check for brake wear more
frequently if the vehicle is used in water.
Remember:
•
Don’t ride in fast flowing water.
•
Stay out of water deeper than the lower end of the
axle cap.
•
Dry out the brakes.
•
Check the air cleaner for water.
•
Check the engine and gear case oils for water.
