MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Lubrication Recommendations
Front Gearcase Oil Check
The front gearcase oil level should be
checked every six months or 1000
miles (1600 km), whichever comes
first. The oil should be changed
annually. We recommend the use of
Polaris Premium Hub Drive Fluid.
See page 121 for the part numbers of
Polaris products.
With the ATV on a level surface,
remove the fill plug and check the oil
level. The level should be maintained
3/4” below the fill plug opening.
