Drive Chain Lubrication

Polaris ATV 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 mm).
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.

NOTICE: 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.
