2. When the lubricant has completely
drained from the case and the chain
case is cleaned of old oil; then install
the chain case cover. Tighten the cap
screws to 105 in.-lb.
CAUTION
Before installing the chain case
screws, be sure to clean the holes
using compressed air completely of
debris or damage to the chain case
may occur.
3. On the 6000, pour recommended
chain case lube into the fill hole until
the lubricant is at least halfway up in
the sight glass; then install the plug.
4. On the 7000, remove the three
screws securing the shift actuator to
the chain case, disconnect the actua-
tor wiring harness, and remove the
actuator w/extension. Pour recom-
mended chain lube through the shift
actuator opening until the lubricant

w/extension and connect the actua-
tor wiring harness.

NOTE: Make sure the reverse sen-
sor wire is routed up so the wires do
not become pinched between the
actuator and the case.

rotate the actuator back and forth to
properly align it with the extension
gear. Failure to do so could cause
component damage.
5. Install and secure the exhaust reso-
nator.
