MAINTENANCE
3-17
CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
Clean the chain with non-flammable or high flash
point solvent and wipe it dry.
Be sure the chain has dried completely before lubri-
cating.
Inspect the drive chain for possible damage or wear.
Replace any chain that has damaged rollers, loose
fitting links, or otherwise appears unserviceable.
Installing a new chain on badly worn sprockets will
cause the new chain to wear quickly.
Inspect and replace sprocket as necessary.
Lubricate the drive chain with #80 – 90 gear oil or
drive chain lubricant designed specifically for use
with O-ring chains. Wipe off the excess oil or drive
chain lubricant.
SPROCKET INSPECTION
Remove the drive sprocket cover (page 11-4).
Inspect the drive and driven sprocket teeth for wear
or damage, replace if necessary.
Never use a new drive chain on worn sprockets.
Both chain and sprockets must be in good condi-
tion, or new replacement chain will wear rapidly.
