Check under the panel that the two small connectors(gray and brown wires) for each side of the front wheels are connected. If so just change fluid first. Use Polaris Demand Drive only!!

3/16" allen screw in the front hubs. Remove it,clean the shavings off and drain the fluid. Fill back up,turn to 4 o'clock position and drain the excess fluid out. A little extra won't hurt. Then replace the screws.

The hub screw holes is for drain and fill.
Drain at 6 oclock position and fill at 4 oclock.
