Draining Fuel from the Fuel Tank and Carburetor

Petrol is highly flammable and explosive and can cause serious injury. Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately.

Do not spill fuel when draining the fuel tank. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard, causes environmental damage, and can cause damage to paint and plastic. Wipe up spills immediately.

Note: This procedure applies if fuel will NOT be kept in the fuel tank during storage or before transportation.

1.Access the fuel tank. See page 60.

2.Empty the fuel tank into an approved petrol container. POLARIS recommends using a commercially available petrol hand pump to empty the tank. Do not use an electric pump.

3.Re-install the fuel tank strainer into the fuel tank.

4.Securely tighten fuel tank cap until it clicks.

5.Open the service door. See page 46.

6.Turn fuel valve lever to ON and then loosen the carburetor drain screw (A).

7.Drain the petrol from the carburetor (B) and into a suitable container.
