Lubrication and Cleaning
Lubricate every 500 km (300 miles) or sooner if chain
appears dry.
The O-rings in this chain can be damaged by
steam cleaning, high pressure washers, and certain
solvents. Clean the side surfaces of the chain with a
dry cloth. Do not brush the rubber O-rings. Brushing
will damage them. Wipe dry and lubricate only with
drive chain lubricant designed specifically for O-ring
chains. If not available, use SAE 80 or 90 gear oil.
Commercial chain lubricants may contain solvents
which could damage the rubber O-rings.
Recommended lubricant:
Drive chain lubricant designed specifically for
O-ring chains.
