Drive Chain

Polaris ATV drive chains are equipped with o-ring-sealed, permanently
greased pins and rollers. However, the outer surfaces of the roller must
be lubricated.
1. Always inspect the drive chain prior to operating the vehicle.
Check for damaged or missing o-rings or damaged rollers.
2. Check for correct slack adjustment.
3. Maintain the stone guard to rear sprocket clearance at 1/8" (.3 cm).
4. Regularly lubricate the drive chain with Polaris chain lube or SAE
80-90 lube. See page 110 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
Washing the drive chain with a high pressure washer or
gasoline can cause damage to the o-rings, causing premature
wear and drive chain failure. Don't use a high pressure washer
or gasoline to clean the drive chain.
Cylinder Head/Cylinder Base Fastener
Have your dealer check the ATV cylinder head and cylinder base
fasteners for proper torque at the first service or after 25 hours.
