Drive Chain Condition/Adjustment
Drive chain condition and adjustment should be inspected each day

and servicing the drive chain.
Inspecting Condition
Inspect the drive chain for any of the following conditions.
• Loose pins
• Loose or cracked rollers
• Dry or rusted links
• Kinked or binding links
• Excessive wear
The presence of any of the conditions requires drive chain replacement.
Take the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for this service.
NOTE: If the drive chain is worn or damaged, the sprockets
may also be worn or damaged. Inspect the sprockets for
worn, broken, or damaged teeth. Always inspect the sprock-
ets when a new drive chain is being installed.
Cleaning and Lubricating
The drive chain should be cleaned and lubricated frequently to prolong
chain and sprocket life. Use the following procedure to clean and
lubricate the chain.
NOTE: This ATV is equipped with an O-ring type roller
chain. Each link incorporates small O-rings to seal out water
and dirt. Care should be taken to choose cleaning solutions
and lubricants that are suitable for O-ring chains.
CAUTION
A torn air filter can cause damage to the ATV engine. Dirt and
dust may get inside the engine if the filter is torn. Carefully
examine the filter for tears before and after cleaning it. Replace
the filter with a new one if it is torn.
