Inspection
This ATV is equipped with O-ring sealed per-
manently greased pins and rollers. Before op-
erating the vehicle, always inspect the drive
chain.
Check for damage or missing O-ring, rollers
and correct slack adjustment.
Lubrication and Cleaning
CAUTION: Never wash the chain with a high
pressure washer or gasoline. Damage to the
O-ring will result, causing premature wear
and drive chain failure.
Clean the side surfaces of the chain with a dry
cloth.
NOTE: Do not brush chain.
Lubricate only with an approved O-ring chain
lubricant. Other commercial chain lubricants
may contain solvent which could damage the

driver, or equivalent weight, seated on the ve-
hicle.
