General Maintenance MAINTENANCE 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 as 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. 1 2 83
