Transporting
When transporting your snowmobile on a trail-
er or in a truck, observe the following recom-
mendations to help protect it from damage:
Make sure that the fuel level in the fuel tank
is lower than the bottom of the carburetors.
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 transpor-
tation, especially if the trip takes longer than
30 minutes.
