Cold Weather Operation - Polaris Sportsman 450 HO Manual Del Propietário

Cold Weather Operation

Internal engine condensation increases as outside temperatures
decrease. If the vehicle is used year-round, check the oil level
frequently. A rising oil level could indicate condensation in the bottom
of the oil tank, which can lead to engine damage. Any condensation
must be drained.
Always operate the engine long enough to reach operating temperature,
which reduces condensation. See your POLARIS dealer for engine
heater kits, which provide quicker warm-ups and easier starting in cold
weather.
