MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Adjustments
Drive Chain Inspection and Ad justment
Polaris ATV drive chains are equipped with O-ring sealed permanently
greased pins and rollers. However, it is still necessary to lubricate the
outer surfaces of the roller.
Always inspect the drive chain prior to operating the vehicle, checking
for damaged or missing O-rings, rollers and correct slack adjustment.
Maintain the stone guard to rear sprocket clearance at 1/8″ (.3 cm).
Regularly lubricate the drive chain with SAE 80-90 lube or an
approved O-ring chain spray lube.
Never wash the chain with a high pressure washer or gasoline.
Damage to the O-rings will result, causing premature wear and
drive chain failure.
