MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Gearcases
Front Gearcase
The front gearcase lubricant level should be checked every six months
or 100 hours, whichever comes first. The oil should be changed
annually. If the vehicle is used in wet conditions, the oil should be
checked more frequently. If the oil has a milky appearance, it should be
changed as soon as possible.
Failure to properly maintain this important area can result in premature
wear or possible failure of the front grease components.
NOTE: Refer to the Gearcase Specifications Chart on page 67.
Always use Polaris Premium Drive Hub Fluid. See page 96 for the
part numbers of Polaris-recommended products.
The front gearcase fill plug (1) is located on the right side of the front
gearcase.

surface, remove the fill plug and
check the lubricant level.

to specification.
Oil Change
