Chain lubrication and cleaning
Do not wash the chain using water jets, vapour jets, high-pressure water jets or highly
flammable solvents.
•
Wash the chain with fuel oil or kerosene. Maintenance operations should be
more frequent if there are signs of early rust.
Lubricate the chain whenever necessary.
•
After washing and drying the chain, lubricate it with spray grease for sealed
chains.
THE DRIVE CHAIN IS FITTED WITH RUBBER O-RINGS BETWEEN ITS SIDE
PLATES IN ORDER TO RETAIN THE LUBRICATING GREASE. PROCEED WITH
THE UTMOST CAUTION WHEN ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING, WASHING OT RE-
PLACING THE CHAIN.
COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE CHAIN LUBRICANTS MAY CONTAIN SUBSTAN-
CES THAT DAMAGE THE RUBBER O-RINGS FITTED ON THE CHAIN.
DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER LUBRICATING THE CHAIN
SINCE THE LUBRICANT WOULD BE SPRAYED OUT AND CONTAMINATE THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
