CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended gear
lube could result in premature failure of the shock lim-
iter. Do not use any lubricant containing graphite or
molybdenum additives or other friction-modified lubri-
cants as these may cause severe damage to shock lim-
iter components.
When changing the lubricant, use approved SAE 80W-90
hypoid gear lube.
To check lubricant, remove the fill plug; the lubricant
level should be 1 in. below the threads of the plug. If low,
add SAE approved 80W-90 hypoid gear lubricant as nec-
essary.
To change the lubricant, use the following procedure.
1. Place the ATV on level ground.
2. Remove each oil filler plug.
3. Drain the oil into a drain pan by removing in turn the
drain plug from each.
