Checking the Drive Chain Wear

Check the chain wear label when adjusting
the drive chain. If the indicator groove on the
adjusting plate enters the red zone on the
label after the chain has been adjusted to the
proper slack, the chain is excessively worn
and must be replaced.
Chain: DID 525HV3
If necessary have the drive chain replaced by
your dealer.
