Place newspaper or paper towels underneath to

collect chain oil.
1 Lift rear wheel.
2 Turn the crank briskly in an anti-clockwise
direction.
3 Use slight finger pressure to the chain oil bottle
to apply a wafer-thin thread of oil to the chain
links. The faster the crank is turned, the thinner
the threads of oil will be.

4 Remove excessive chain oil with a cloth. If you
apply too much oil, it will make the chain all the
dirtier at a later point in time.
5 Leave chain oil to penetrate into the chain links
for a few hours or overnight.
