Carburetor Water/Sediment Trap
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 about every
1000 miles (1600 km) and inspected for contamination.
WARNING
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 a s open flames, sparks, heaters, trouble lights,
cigarettes, etc. Review the fuel warnings on page 61.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Turn the fuel valve off. See
page 28.
2. Place a container or shop towels
below the plug to catch drained
fuel.
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 clamp.
5. Repeat the draining procedure
for any remaining traps.
