Cold Weather Operation - 4 Cycle Engines
Polaris offers the following kits for cold weather operation: Oil
Tank Cover, Engine Heater and Oil Tank Heater. These kits re-
duce mois tur e accum ul ati on in the oil tank when the ATV is op-
erated in freezi ng temper atur es .
If you use your ATV a ll year round, it is important to check your
oil level frequently. A rising oil level could indicate the accu-
mulation of water in the bottom of the oil tank. Water in the bot-
tom of the tank can lead to engine damage and must be
drained.
Water accumulation increases as outside temperature de-
creases.
The cold weather kits not only reduce moisture accumulation,
but the heaters provide quicker warm-ups and easier starting.
See your dealer for more information on cold weather operation
and what kit will work best for your driving habits.
