CHAIN CARE

Proper chain care will increase the life and improve performance of your Power Board. Always
keep the chain lubricated and tightened to proper tension.

Lubrication

Always keep the chains lubricated with a good chain spray or grease (not chain wax). If the
chains are allowed to run dry for a prolonged period they will fail, and the life of the chain is
severely shortened.

Chain Adjustment

The chain on the Power Board should be adjusted from time to time. The chain should be
tight enough not to skip, but have a little bit of play. If you feel your chain skipping or make a
popping noise, adjust the tension immediately.
For regular adjustments:
1. Using a 16mm wrench, loosen the axle bolts on each
side of the rear wheel (Fig. 11).
2. While the axle bolts are loose, using a 10mm wrench
loosen the tension bolts behind the rear wheel of the
Power Board and move the rear wheel backwards to
remove the slack for the chain (fig. 12).
3. Once this is achieved the wheel nuts must then be
relocked into position and wheel alignment must be
checked (while turning the wheel, visually check that
the clearance between the wheel and the frame parts
have clearance).
*Note: Chains that are run excessively dry or loose
can result in sprocket teeth being severely
damaged.
