MAINTENANCE

Drive Chain

The drive chains are equipped with o-ring-sealed, permanently greased

pins and rollers. However, the outer surfaces of the roller must be

lubricated.
Always inspect the drive chain prior to operating the vehicle. Check for

damaged or missing o-rings or damaged rollers. Also check for correct

slack adjustment. Maintain the stone guard to rear sprocket clearance

at 1/8″ (.3 cm).
Regularly lubricate the drive chain with Polaris Chain Lube, an SAE

80-90 lube or an approved o-ring chain spray lube. See page 111 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. Do not use a high pressure washer or gasoline

to clean the drive chain.
