CHECKING THE CHAIN, SPROCKET AND RING

Check the following parts and check the chain,
sprocket and ring gear for:
- worn rollers;
- loose pins;

excessively worn or damaged sprocket or
gear teeth.
If any one of these parts is damaged, the
whole chain assembly (sprocket, chain and

slider (7).
LUBRICATION AND CLEANING
The chain should always be kept well lubricat-

been off road with mud or sand. Whenever there
are dry or rusted parts, if there are crushed or
bound links, the chain must be lubricated and
the deteriorated parts restored to working condi-
tion. It this is impossible, consult a Dealer.
Do not clean the chain with jets of water or
steam, high-pressure water jets or highly in-
flammable solvents.
See the LUBRICANTS table on page 135 for
products recommended for lubricating and
