Transmission Lubrication
The transmission fill plug is located on the right side of the machine
behind the propshaft shield or footwell.
The transmission lubricant level should be checked every six months or
1000 miles (1600 km), whichever comes first. Transmission oil should
be changed annually. With the ATV on a level surface, remove fill
plug (1) and check the lubricant level. Use the illustration and the chart
below to determine the correct fluid level. The correct transmission
lubricant to use is Polaris Premium Synthetic Gearcase Lubricant (PN
2871478).
