Apex on its side.

Ok the manual says to put it on its right side if you do any work that requires it to be tipped. But lets say your riding and if it rolls or what not or lays on its left side while running or not running. Is there anything special you need to do to make sure the oil is still primed?


I ve searched and cant find anything figured this would be the fast way for results.

Nothing that I am aware of. Oil can leak out if the sled is left brake side down for a long period, which would require you to clean it up and add oil. If the sled is throttle side down, there is no oil leakage issues.

Tipped on it's side (any side) on the garage floor it will not leak, tipped on it's side in snow it tips a bit further than on the garage floor and it will leak tipped over to the left, and it takes only a few seconds before oil it spilling out the crank vent line.

I had mine on its left side in a treewell and a fair amount of fuel soaked the foam around the clutch side plastic. Once i got underway the foam came apart and got in my clutch, thats when i figured out the issue.
Never looked where the fuel came from, i just tried to not get stuck on my side after that.
