Cleaning The Drive Chain
CAUTION:
•
Wear safety glasses when cleaning the chain to
prevent eye injuries.
•
Never have the motor spinning the wheel. Turn
the wheel only by hand. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
•
Never place your hand or any other body part
between the chain and sprockets. Work with the
chain only in the middle between the two
sprockets. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
•
Do not allow any of the cleaner to get on the
brake rotors or brake pads. If the brake rotors or
brake pads are contaminated with cleaner, it will
impair the motorcycle’s ability to stop. This could
result in serious personal injury.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the chain
cleaner you are using; page 5-13 contains general
guidelines.
