CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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, Tighteness 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 chains is accomplished 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.
