Chain Tension - Polaris Outlaw 9922079 Owner's Manual

Maintenance

Chain Tension

CAUTION! Never adjust or operate the vehicle with the rear drive chain too loose or too tight. Severe
damage to the transmission and drive components can result.
Check the amount of chain slack by moving the vehicle
slightly forward to remove slack at the top side of the
chain. At the center point of the top side of the chain
there should be 1/4"-3/8" (6-9 mm) deflection.
Use the following procedure if the chain needs adjust-
ment.
TIP: The chain has a press-on master link. A chain tool must
be used if it's necessary to remove the chain for service.
1. Loosen the upper and lower pivot mounting bolts (1).
2. Thread the chain adjusting bolt (2) inward or outward to adjust chain slack to the proper
dimension.
