7-11ESU00367TransportingWhen transporting your snowmobile on a trailer or in atruck, observe the following recommendations to helpprotect it from damage: Make sure that the fuel level in the fuel tank is lowerthan the bottom of the carburetors. Otherwise, thevibration and bumps from the road surface couldmake it possible for fuel to flow through the carbure-tors into the cylinders. This can result in “hydrostaticlock,” a condition where the engine cannot rotatebecause of fuel accumulated in the engine. Severeengine damage can result from hydrostatic lock.When possible, the fuel tank should be empty duringtransportation, especially if the trip takes longer than30 minutes. If transporting the snowmobile in an open trailer ortruck, put a tight fitting cover on the snowmobile. Acover specifically designed for your snowmobile isbest. This will help keep foreign objects out of thecooling vents in the shroud, and also help protect thesnowmobile against damage from debris on the road. If transporting the snowmobile in an open trailer ortruck in areas where road salt is used, coat metalsuspension surfaces lightly with oil or another pro-tectant. This will help protect against corrosion. Besure to clean the snowmobile when you get to yourdestination to remove any corrosive salts.
