MAINTENANCE
Rear Gearcase Oil
Always check and change the rear gearcase oil at the intervals outlined
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 52.
Maintain the oil level at the bottom of the check plug hole. We recom-
mend the use of POLARIS ATV Angle Drive Fluid. Use of other oils
may result in improper operation of components. See page 98 for the
part numbers of POLARIS products.
