Lubricate the idler chains after 10 hrs. of operation, and more frequently if the vehicle is

the type available through Ontario Drive & Gear. Part No. 125-86
When applying the chain lube, protect the brake disc with a rag or simple cardboard
shield. Do not allow chain lube to come into contact with the brake discs or brake pads.
Roll the vehicle so that all the idler chain is accessible for lubrication.

Drive Chain Cleaning

After every 100 hrs. of operation, remove all the drive chains from the vehicle and clean
them thoroughly in a suitable solvent, e.g clean varsol bath.
Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent. Gasoline is extremely flammable and can
explode if ignited, causing serious personal injury.
Allow the chains to dry thoroughly, re-lubricate generously with ARGO Chain
Lube and reinstall.
