To change the front gearcase or demand drive fluid on your Sportsman X2, Touring and 6x6 570, follow these steps:
For optimal performance, always use Polaris recommended fluids as described in your Owner’s Manual.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, ensure it is in PARK and set the parking brake.
2. Place a drain pan underneath the front gearcase. Note: Placing a rag in the bottom of the drain pan will help prevent the splashing of fluid.
3. Clean the area around the drain plug.
4. Remove the drain plug with a 8mm Allen socket and allow the fluid to drain completely.
