Need quick help from a Polaris owner

[Russ79]

Trying to service my Ranger for the first time-changing the oil and filter for the first time. Finally got a wrench to get in to get the oil filter off but can't seem to find where the oil drain plug is. The book doesn't say where it is just to remove it to drain the oil. Is it underneath somewhere?

Hope I can do links:

I have a Sportsman 800 4x4 and I read the other day that its easiest to access filter and plug by removing left footboard. plug should be directly on bottom of the pan directly under middle of your rig if its like mine. There was a diagram in the section about changing filter.

DANG SORRY, JUST NOTICED YOU SAID RANGER, DUH.

coker737, nice link- thanks. The only bad part about it is that it seems to show two different drain plugs (if I am following it right) and my Ranger doesn't seem to have either option. Le t me try a little google search and see what I find. As hard as it was to get the oil filter off it seems they engineered these things so that you have to take them in to get serviced.
