of continuously holding the switch before the system is
primed. The oil will start dripping on the front chains
several seconds before it drips on the rear.
5. Once the oil starts dripping watch the drips to make sure
they are falling onto the side plates of the chain.
6. Loosen the bolt holding the drip tube and adjust the posi-
tion as required.
System may require priming if reservoir is run dry or after
extended periods of non use.
Maintenance:
• Check the level in the reservoir prior to daily operation.
• For optimum pump and chain life, do not let the reservoir
run dry.
• Periodically check to make sure all holes are dripping
oil correctly.
• Wiping the bottom of the drip tubes with a rag will remove
any larger deposits of dirt.
• A full reservoir of oil should last approx 40 hrs of run time.
If your vehicle is equipped with an auto chain lube
system, monitor steering brake discs and service brake
discs weekly, for any signs of oil contaminated dirt and
debris. This can be the result of excess oil spraying from
moving chains. Regularly clean or pressure wash drive
train if oily dirt and debris builds up on drive chains,
brake discs or other components that could affect vehicle
performance and braking capabilities.
6.4.5 Idler Chain Lubrication
CLA
Lubricate the idler chains after 10 hours of operation, and more
frequently if the vehicle is operated in dirty or wet conditions
(Figure 6-7). The firewall of the vehicle must be removed to
access the idler chains for maintenance. Use ARGO brand
Chain Lube (part no. 130-100) to lubricate the idler chains.

OIL, FILTER AND LUBRICATION INFORMATION
6.4.4 Automatic Chain Oiler System (if equipped)
Proper lubrication of the chain drive components greatly
increases their service life. Keeping chains out of water
and dirt will also improve the effectiveness of chain
lubrication.
Operation:
The automatic chain oil system operates on a timed circuit
that starts as soon as the key is turned to the run position.
The system starts with a 15 minute (or 1 hour optional) off
cycle followed by a 5 second on cycle when the pump runs
and supplies oil to the oil drip tubes. The drip tubes, direct the
drips to land between each inner and outer plate of the chain.
The override switch on the dash bypasses the timer and will
run the pump for as long as the switch is pressed. This switch
is meant to be used to run the pump for initially priming
the system, checking drip tube alignment, or manually re-
lubricating the chains after cleaning them. Once the switch is
activated, the timer is reset to the beginning of the 15 minute
or 1 hour timer cycle.
The chain lube system timer ground is also run through the
parking brake switch. When the engine is running and the
parking brake is applied, the timer is interrupted and shuts
down the lube system. The timer is reset to beginning of timer
cycle, 15 minute or 1 hour.
IMPORTANT:
If vehicle is never
driven longer than the 15 minute or 1 hour time duration, lube
system will never operate to lube chains.
Recommended Oil:
ARGO Brand Chain Lube Auto Oil - 1L (part no. 130-100)
or any good quality oil of the proper viscosity (based on
temperature, see chart) can be used. The oil must be able to
penetrate into the bushings and side plates to be effective. Do
not use used oils, high tack oils (i.e. chainsaw bar oil), heavy
oil, or grease.

First time operation:
1. Fill the reservoir with appropriate oil.
2. Remove the front floor pan, firewall, and rear floor pan.
3. Turn the key to run position, press and hold the override
switch. You will hear the pump.
4. With the pump running watch below the drip tubes to see
when the oil begins to drip. It may take close to 2 minutes
