Drive Chain
Drive Chain Lubrication
The drive chains are equipped with o-ring-sealed, permanently greased
pins and rollers. However, the outer surfaces of the roller must be lubri-
cated.
Always inspect the drive chain prior to operating the vehicle. 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 mm).
Regularly lubricate the drive chain with Polaris Chain Lube, an SAE 80-
90 lube or an approved o-ring chain spray lube. See page 99 for the part
numbers of Polaris products.
Washing the drive chain with a high pressure washer or gasoline can cause
damage to the o-rings, causing premature wear and drive chain failure. Do not
use a high pressure washer or gasoline to clean the drive chain.
