MAINTENANCE
Front Gearcase (Demand Drive) Fluid
Always check and change the demand drive fluid at the intervals out-
lined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 91. Maintain
the fluid level at the bottom of the fill hole threads. See page 145 for the
part numbers of POLARIS products.
Change the front gearcase fluid every 25 hours if the ADC unit is
exposed to extreme use. Extreme use includes any of the following:
• operation in ADC mode for prolonged periods
• constant ADC operation on hilly or mountainous terrain
• ADC is the primary mode of all-wheel-drive operation
TIP: If the front gearcase makes excessive noise during ADC operation, change
the demand drive fluid. If the noise continues, please see your POLARIS
dealer for service.
