MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
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.
Always inspect the drive chain prior to operating the vehicl e. 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 cm).
Regularly lubricate the drive chain with SAE 80-90 lube or an
approved o-ring chain spray 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.
