A. Belt Drive Transmission (CVT) Cover
B. Drain Plug
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.
The cooling fan inside the housing will expel the
remaining water and dry the housing.
Install the drain plug 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.
