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

1000 miles (1600 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 57.
