Transmission Oil
Polaris recommends the use of Polaris Synthetic SPORTSMAN XP
Transmission Fluid for this transmission. See the table on page 80 for
fluid recommendations, capacities and plug torques. Always check and
change the transmission oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 76. See page 135 for the part
numbers of Polaris products.

tom of the fill plug hole. The fill
plug is located on the right side of
the ATV behind the footwell. The
drain plug is located on the bottom
left side of the gearcase.
