Front Gearcase (Demand Drive) Fluid

See the Lubrication Guide for fluid recommendations, capacities and plug torques. Always check and change the demand drive fluid at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. See the Polaris Products section for part numbers.

4WDC Models: Change the front gearcase fluid every 25 hours if the 4WDC unit is exposed to extreme use. Extreme use includes any of the following:

  • operation in 4WDC mode for prolonged periods

  • constant 4WDC operation on hilly or mountainous terrain

  • 4WDC is the primary mode of all-wheel-drive operation

TIP
If the front gearcase is makes excessive noise during 4WDC operation, change the demand drive fluid. If the noise continues, please see your POLARIS dealer for service.

Use the recommended fluid. Use of other fluids may result in improper operation of components. Maintain the fluid level at the bottom of the fill hole threads. See below for capacity.

The fill plug 1 is located on the right side of the demand drive unit. The drain plug is located on the bottom right side of the unit.
