Rear Gearcase Oil

Always check and change the rear
gearcase oil at the intervals outlined
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart
beginning on page 70. The oil capac-
ity is 5 oz. (150 ml). Do not overfill.
The fill plug is located on the rear of
the gearcase. The drain plug is
located on the bottom of the gear-
case.
We recommend the use of Polaris
ATV Angle Drive Fluid (or GL5 80-90 weight gear lube). See page 124
for the part numbers of Polaris products.

Oil Check

1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Remove the fill plug.
NOTE:
Use a light colored non-absor-
bent object (such as a cable tie,
L-shaped wire or a small L-
shaped tool) to measure the oil
level.
3. Insert the measuring object into
the fill plug hole with the short
end pointing downward. Guide
the object (at a slight angle
downward and to the left) approximately two inches (5 cm) into the
left side of the gearcase. Remove it and verify that oil is present on
the tip.
• If oil is present, do not add oil.
• If oil is not present, add 5-10 ml of the recommended oil.
4. After adding oil, recheck the oil level. Add more oil as needed until
oil appears on the tip of the measuring object. Do not overfill.
5. Reinstall the fill plug. Torque to 14 ft. lbs. (19 Nm).
