3. Drain the oil into a drain pan by removing the front
differential drain plug (C) through the access hole
(D) in the skid plate. Clean away any debris that may
have accumulated onto the magnetic end of the plug.

4. After all the oil has been drained, install the drain
plug (C); then tighten per the Torque Specifications
chart.
5. Pour 270 mL (9.1 fl oz) of recommended oil into the
fill plug hole (B). The oil level should be within
3/16” of the fill plug threads.
NOTE: Bend down 3/16” of the end of a cable tie
and use as a gauge to check fluid level.
6. Install fill plug (B) and tighten per the Torque Speci-
fications chart.
TRANSAXLE
The recommended transaxle lubricant is Synthetic Tran-
saxle Fluid with EP. This lubricant meets all the lubrica-
tion requirements of the transaxle.
To check lubricant, remove fill plug. The lubricant level
should be approximately at the bottom of the plug hole
threads.
Inspect and change the lubricant according to the Mainte-
nance Schedule. When changing the lubricant, use the
appropriate lubricant and use the following procedure:
NOTE: The fill plug is located on the front right side
of the transaxle.
1. Place the vehicle on a suitable stand; then remove the
fill plug.

2. Remove lower right-side A-arm nuts and bolts and
drop the A-arm.
NOTE: Remove wheel for easier access to A-arm.
OHA021
3. Use a pry bar without sharp edges to carefully lift up
on the transaxle enough to align drain plug with access
hole in the A-arm bracket. Remove transaxle drain
plug through the access hole. Drain the oil into a drain
pan positioned under the cutout in the skid plate.
Clean off any debris that may have accumulated onto
the magnetic end of the drain plug.
NOTE: Failure to align drain plug with access hole
during removal and installation may cause cross
threading of the plug.

CAUTION
Inspect the oil for any signs of metal filings or water. If
found, take the ATV to an authorized dealer for servic-
ing.
CAUTION
Using a pry bar with sharp edges may result in transaxle
case damage.
