Oil Pump Priming
This priming procedure must be
performed whenever the oil hose
connection between the oil tank and
pump inlet has been disconnected.
1. Clamp or pinch off the vent line
approximately 2" (5 cm) from the oil
tank, between the end of the oil tank
vent fitting and the vent line's
pressure relief slit.
2. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for
10-20 seconds.
3. Remove the vent line clamp. If the line is bled properly, you should
hear a rush of air, indicating that the line is properly primed and
ready for operation.
Tip: If you do not hear air, the line has not bled. Repeat the priming procedure.
Transmission Oil
Always check and change the transmission oil at the intervals outlined
in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 72. Maintain the
oil level at the bottom of the fill plug hole threads. See page 125 for the
part numbers of POLARIS products.
The fill plug is located on the left side of the ATV, under the rear fender,
behind the wheel. The drain plug is located on the right side of the
gearcase, on the right side of the ATV, behind the wheel well.
