MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Transmission Oil (600/700)
The transmission oil level should be
checked every six months or 1000 miles
(1600 km), whichever comes first.
Transmission oil should be changed
annually. We recommend the use of
Polaris Premium Synthetic Gearcase
Lubricant. See page 115 for the part
numbers of Polaris products.
On the Sportsman 600 and 700, the
transmission oil fill plug (1) is located on
the right side of the ATV behind the
footwell. The transmission drain plug

side of the gearcase.
