Water/Sediment T rap Service
Most P olaris 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 as open flames, sparks, heaters, trouble lights,
cigarettes, etc. Review the gasoline warnings found on page 63.
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 t he
sediment tube.
4. Wipe residue from the plug and reinstall it.
Reposition and tighten the clamps.
Continue until all the traps have been
emptied.
