DRIVE SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS:
Due to both the complex nature of the transmission and the number of special tools required
for service, adjustments should be entrusted to your dealer.
There are a number of simple owner service items which greatly influence the performance of
the drive system.
1. Front and rear tires must be inflated to proper specifications.
2. Rear drive chain tension.
3. Tightness of all controls and linkages pertaining to the drive levers.
4. Lubrication of both primary and final drive chains.
(The use of a high quality chain lubricant is highly recommended.)
Proper tension for the rear drive chains is accomplished through the use of an "automatic"
adjuster located at mid-point of each rear chain.
Maintenance:
Periodically remove any build up of grass,
mud or other debris from both the spring
loaded roller and the upper guide rod.
The use of a penetrating lubricant on the
springs and rod is recommended as a rust
preventative.
