CAUTION
!
• Do not use trichloroethylene, gasoline or such similar solvent. These fluids will damage the O-rings
of the drive chain.
• Clean the drive chain with a spray-type chain cleaner and blow dry with compressed air. If the drive
chain cannot be cleaned with a spray cleaner, it may be necessary to use a kerosine. Always follow
the chemical manufacturer’s instructions on proper use, handling and storage.
• Lubricate the drive chain with a heavy weight motor oil. Wipe off any excess oil or chain lubricant.
Do not use any oil sold commercially as “drive chain oil”. Such oil can damage the O-rings.
