Drive Chain
Polaris ATV drive chains are equipped with o-ring-seal ed, permanently
greased pins and rollers. However, the outer surfaces of the roller must
be lubricated.
1. Always inspect the drive chain prior to operating the vehicle.
Check for damaged or missing o-ri ngs or damaged rollers.
2. Check for correct slack adjustment.
3. Maintain the stone guard to rear sprocket clearance at 1/8″ (.3 cm).
4. Regularly lubricate t he drive chain with Polaris chain lube or SAE
80-90 lube. See page 106 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
CAUTION
Washing the drive chain with a high pressure washer or gasoline
can cause damage to the o-rings, causing premature wear and
drive chain failure. Don’t use a high pressure washer or gasoline
to clean the drive chain.
