LUBRICATING THE DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain consists of many interacting
parts. If the drive chain is not maintained prop-
erly, it will wear out quickly. Therefore, the drive
chain should be serviced, especially when the
vehicle is used in dusty areas.
Use only kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe the drive chain dry and thoroughly lubri-
cate it with engine oil or chain lubricant that is
suitable for non-O-ring chains.
