Carburetor Water/Sediment Trap Service MAINTENANCE 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 2000 miles (3200 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 57. 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 traps have been emptied. 1 2 87
