The transmission lubricant level should be checked every six months or
1000 miles (1600 km), whichever comes first. Maintain the oil level at
the bottom of the fill hole threads. Change transmission oil annually.
We recommend the use of AGL Synthetic Gearcase Lubricant. See
page 117 for the part numbers of Polaris products.

the bottom of the fill hole threads.
3. Reinstall the fill plug.
