Cold Weather Operation 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.

OPERATION
Cold Weather Operation
Internal engine condensation increases as outside temperatures
decrease. If the vehicle is used year-round, check the oil level fre-
quently. 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.
