Idler Chain Installation
1. Rotate the power pack adjustment bolts. This will lower the brake disc sprocket
toward the idler sprocket assembly. See the servicing procedure, Idler Chain Re-
moval on Page WA-20 step 3.
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
3. Feed one end of idler chain under the idler assembly sprocket. It may be necessary
to roll the vehicle forward or backward to achieve this. If the vehicle can be raised
off the ground, the tires may be rotated either way by hand to accomplish the same
thing.
4. Place the free end of the idler chain around the brake disc sprocket.
5. Rotate the idler chain until the open links are halfway between the idler sprocket and
brake disc sprocket.
6. While holding the two open links together, insert the connecting link and assemble 2
connecting link plates to the center of the double 40 or 50 chain. Photo WA-50
7. Gently push the connecting link through the second set of open links and attach the
remaining end link plate.
9. Secure the assembly with the connecting link clip, with the split end of the clip
facing down. Photo WA-51

Ensure that the connecting link clip has been properly installed. Failure to install
this clip correctly could result in severe damage to vehicle drive train components
and costly repairs. Use a small technicians mirror to correctly view the clip after it
has been installed.
