whitch could damage the O-rings. Wipe off the excess chain
lube to prevent it from flinging off when in operation.

solvent and wipe
it
dry. Be sure the chain has dried completely
before lubricating.
lnspect the drive chain for possible wear or damage. Replace

badly worn sprockets will cause the new chain to wear
