MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Lubrication Recommendations
Transmission Oil Check
The transmission oil dipstick (1) is located
on the right side of the vehicle. Check the
transmission oil level monthly or every
1000 miles (1600 km), whichever comes
first. Maintain the transmission oil level in
the SAFE operating range (2). Change
transmission oil annually. We recommend
the use of AGL Synthetic Gearcase
Lubricant. See page 110 for the part
numbers of Polaris products.
1. Position the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the transmission oil dipstick
and wipe it clean.
3. Reinstall the dipstick, then remove it and read the
oil level. If the level is low, add the recommended gearcase oil to
bring the level within the safe operating range on the dipstick.
4. Reinstall the dipstick.
Transmission Oil Change
1. Place a drain pan beneath the
transmission oil drain plug area.
2. Loosen the jam nut (A).
3. Turn the adjuster bolt (B) in to
allow the removal of the drain
plug (C).
4. Remove the drain plug and wipe
the magnetic end clean to remove
accumulated metallic filings.
5. After the oil has drained
completely, install a new sealing
washer and reinstall the drain plug. Torque to 14 ft. lbs. (19 Nm).
6. Turn the adjuster bolt (B) out until it touches the frame, and then
turn an additional 1/2 turn.
7. Tighten the jam nut securely while holding the adjuster bolt.
8. Add the recommended lubricant through the dipstick hole until the
oil level is between the upper and lower limits. Do not overfill.
9. Check for leaks.
