If your vehicle becomes immersed, major engine damage can result if
the machine is not thoroughly inspected. Take the vehicle to your dealer

If it's impossible to take your ATV to a dealer before starting it, follow
the steps outlined below.
1. Move the vehicle out of the
water.
2. Turn the fuel valve off.
3. Check the air box. If water is
present, dry the air box and
replace the filter with a new filter.
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 ser-
vice as soon as possible, whether you succeed in starting it or not.
