Transporting

When transporting your snowmobile on a trailer or in a

truck, observe the following recommendations 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 carbure-

tors into the crankcase. 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 will be longer than

30 minutes.

●

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.

●

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 other pro-

tectant. This will help protect against corrosion. Be

sure to clean the snowmobile when you get to your

destination to remove any corrosive salts.
