Lubrication Recommendations
Transmission Oil Check - M odels with Dipstick
On most 2x4 models, the
transmission dipstick (1) is
located on the right side of the
machine. On the Sportsman, the
dipstick is located near the rear
brake disc.
The transmission lubricant level
should be checked monthly or
1000 miles (1600 km), whichever
comes first. Transmission oil
should be changed annually.
1. Position the ATV on a level surface, remove the fill plug dipstick
and wipe it clean.
2. Reinstall the dipstick completely, then remove it and check the
level. Add the proper lubricant as required to bring level into the
safe operating range. NOTE: When adding oil, use Polaris
Premium Synthetic Gearcase Lubricant. S ee page 141 for the part
numbers of Polaris-recommended products.
