Roll-over valve not working? Leaked oil after I tipped sled

[DelgatyXTX]

I tipped my sled on it's side on Sunday by accident and thought nothing of it because I had bought the roll-over valve. The sled didn't turn off so turned it off. Tipped it back track-side-down and started it and the oil symbol was on. I let it sit there 10-15 seconds idling and it turned off so I was on my way. Checked the oil when I got home and it was only showing 3/4 way up the cylinder portion of the dipstick. It took about 1/3 of a quart to get back between high and low. I have the K&N kit so I checked the breather filter and there was oily residue on it so it must have leaked through there. I set my valve at a 45 degree angle as per the instructions and the fuse is fine. Here's a pic of the valve, did I do something wrong?

Doesn't sound like you pulled the tether? I dont have a ROV but I think thats how you activate them?

I was under the impression the valve should close on its own when the sled is tipped?

Rov

Rov activates when tether is pulled. Make sure though your red led light is working making sure your system has power. From the picture, it looks like it's hooked up correctly.

Valve only works when tether is pulled. If it is an OFT kit when the tether is pulled it trips the relay sending power to the valve and killing power to the sled. The LED will start blinking.

Yup, you have to pull the tether with the ignition on to close the valve.

I see. I'll know for next time, thanks! But one question though - the ROV is available without the MotoR kill switch on OFT's site. How does it work without it?

NVM I think I got it. The MotoR is for if you fall off the sled, without it you need to make sure you hit the kill switch. I have mine set so either will work.
