how do I tighten the belt on a polaris sportsman 450

polaris belt is the best, can get them from your dealer for $65 or less usually.
It has a belt driven automatic transmission. Similar to a snowmobile.
Belt worn out, or loose.
Belt is most likely loose and/or needs replacing
the belt its old or oil contamination on the belt or the belt its contaminated whit antifreeze

No the belt has to be replaced there is no adjustment
change your belt
because it's slipping. tension or replace.
There are probaby many reasons but one that I know of is anti-freeze. If some anti-freeze gets on the belt it can cause a squeak and it's hard to get rid of it without replacing the belt.
