Water/Sediment Trap Service
Most Polaris snowmobiles contain patented carburetor bowl water/sedi-
ment 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.
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 rein-
stall it. Reposition and tighten the
clamps. Continue until all traps have
been emptied.
WARNING
When draining the traps, fuel spillage will occur. Always work in a well venti-
lated 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 64.
