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 103 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.
