CHAIN CARE
Proper chain care will increase the life and improve performance of your Power Board.
Always keep the chain lubricated and tightened to the proper tension.
Lubrication
Always keep the chains lubricated with a good chain spray or grease (not chain wax). If
the chain is allowed to run dry for a prolonged period it will fail, and the life of the chain
will be severely shortened.
Chain Adjustment
The chain on the XTR-COMP II may need to be adjusted from time to time. The chain
should be tight enough not to skip, but have a little bit of play. (About an 8
th
of an inch) If
you feel your chain skipping or making a popping noise, adjust the tension immediately.
For regular adjustments:
1. Using a 17mm wrench, loosen the axel
bolts on each side of the rear wheel. (Fig. 12)
2. While the axel bolt is loose, using a 10mm
wrench loosen the tension bolts behind the
rear wheel of the XTR-COMP II and pull the
rear wheel backwards to remove the play from
the chain (fig. 13).
3. Once the tension is achieved the axle bolt
must then be relocked into position and wheel
alignment must be checked (while spinning the
wheel, visually check that there is an even
amount of space on each side of the wheel).
*Note: Chains that are run excessively dry or loose can result in sprocket teeth being
severely damaged.
