Water/Sediment Trap Service - Polaris 800 Pro X Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE

Water/Sediment Trap Service

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
1000 miles (1600 km) and inspected for contamination.
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 the
traps have been emptied.
