Chaincase Oil Level
The drive chain is continuously immersed in oil. Proper oil level is determined by
checking the level on the dipstick (C) with machine placed on a level surface. The
oil level should be between the "safe" marks on the dipstick. Add oil through dip-
stick opening to maintain proper level. Use Polaris chaincase oil (PN 2871280).
Do not overfill.
NOTE: Clean the magnetic plug (D) every 500 miles (800 km) and whenever
checking or changing lubricant.
CAUTION:
Do not mix or use other types of lubricant. Excessive wear to chain, sprockets and
bearings will result.
It is the owner's responsibility to maintain proper lubrication of the chaincase.
Drive Chain Tension
To obtain correct chain tension:
1. Rotate driven clutch
counterclockwise to move all
chain slack to the tensioner
side. Lock the brake lever lock
or have an assistant hold the
brake lever firmly.
2. Loosen the adjuster bolt jam
nut (A).
3. Finger tighten the adjuster bolt
(B) until it can no longer be
adjusted by hand.
4. Back off the adjuster bolt by 1/4
turn.
5. Tighten the jam nut while
holding the adjuster bolt.
6. The chain is now tensioned.
Release the brake lever lock.
