Drive Chain
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.
1. Always inspect the drive chain prior to operating t he vehicle.
Check for damaged or missing o-rings or damaged rollers.
2. Check for correct slack adjustment.
3. Maintain the stone guard to rear sprocket clearance at 1/8″ (.3 cm).
4. Regularly lubricate the drive chain with Polaris chain lube or SAE
80-90 lube. See page 106 for the part numbers of Polaris products.
CAUTION
W ashing the drive chain with a high pressure washer or gasoline
can cause damage to the o-rings, causing premature wear and
drive chain failure. Don’t use a high pressure washer or gasoline
to clean the drive chain.
