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 Premium 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.
