Cleaning Procedure; Carburetor Water/Sediment Trap - Polaris 600 HO IQ Owner's Manual

Carburetor Water/Sediment Trap

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 about every 1000 miles (1600
km) and inspected for contamination.
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 fuel warn-
ings on page 69.

Cleaning Procedure

1. Turn the fuel valve off.
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 proce-
dure for any remaining traps.
