CARE AND MAINTENANCE - 3000 SERIES MODELS
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.
REAR CHAIN ADJUSTMENT:
Proper tension for the rear drive chains is acco mplished 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.
