Otherwise, the vibration and bumps from the road surface could make it possible for fuel to flow through the carburetors into the cylinders. This can result in "hydrostatic lock," a condition where the engine cannot rotate because of fuel accumulated in the engine. Severe engine damage can result from hydrostatic lock. When possible, the fuel tank should be empty during transportation, especially if the trip takes longer than 30 minutes. G If transporting the snowmobile in an open trailer or truck, put a tight fitting cover on the snowmobile. A cover specifically designed for your snowmobile is best. This will help keep foreign objects out of the cooling vents in the shroud, and also help protect the snowmobile against damage from debris on the road. G If transporting the snowmobile in an open trailer or truck in areas where road salt is used, coat metal suspension surfaces lightly with oil or another protectant. This will help protect against corrosion. Be sure to clean the snowmobile when you get to your destination to remove any corrosive salts. 7-11
