MAINTENANCE
General Maintenance
Water/Sediment Trap Service
Most Polaris snowmobiles contain patented carburetor bowl
water/sediment traps located at the bottom of each carburetor. The
trap, consisting of a hose with a plug, should be drained at least every
2000 miles (3200 km) and inspected for contamination.
Plug Cleaning Procedure
1 Turn the fuel tank supply valve off.
2 Position a container or shop towels to
catch the contaminated gasoline.
3 Slide the clamp (1) away from the
drain plug (2) and remove the drain
plug from the sediment tube.
4 Wipe residue from the plug and
reinstall it. Reposition and tighten
the clamps. Continue until all the
traps have been emptied.
When draining the traps, fuel spillage will occur. Always work in
a well ventilated area away from anything that may cause the fuel
to ignite, such as open flames, sparks, heaters, trouble lights,
cigarettes, etc. Review the gasoline warnings found on page 80.
