  If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle engine doesn't turn, it could be due to: * Seized engine: See your dealer. Seizure is a result of poor lubrication, inadequate fuel supply, broken parts, or improper cooling. * Hydrostatic lock: Fuel may have entered the crankcase while the vehicle was standing or being transported. See your dealer to correct the cause. Drain plug(s) are located on the lower crankcase for emergency draining.
