Chaincase Oil
Check the chaincase oil level at the intervals outlined in the mainte-
nance charts beginning on page 74. Change the chaincase oil after the
first 500 miles (800 km), then every 1000 miles (1600 km) or season-
ally.
Maintain the oil level between the “safe” marks on the dipstick. Clean
the magnetic plug on the dipstick whenever checking or changing oil.
Polaris recommends the use of Polaris Synthetic Chaincase Lube. See
page 125 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
