●
Make sure that the fuel level in the fuel tank
is lower than the bottom of the carburetors.
Otherwise, the vibration and bumps from
the road surface could make it possible for
fuel to flow through the carburetors into the
cylinders. This can result in “hydrostatic
lock,” a condition where the engine cannot
rotate because of fuel accumulated in the
engine. Severe engine damage can result
from hydrostatic lock. When possible, the
fuel tank should be empty during transpor-
tation, especially if the trip takes longer than
30 minutes.
●
If transporting the snowmobile in an open
trailer or truck, put a tight fitting cover on the
snowmobile. A cover specifically designed
for your snowmobile is best. This will help
keep foreign objects out of the cooling vents
in the shroud, and also help protect the
snowmobile against damage from debris on
the road.
●
If transporting the snowmobile in an open
trailer or truck in areas where road salt is
used, coat metal suspension surfaces light-
ly with oil or another protectant. This will
help protect against corrosion. Be sure to
clean the snowmobile when you get to your
destination to remove any corrosive salts.
