Adjustments Drive Chain MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 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 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 cm). Regularly lubricate the drive chain with SAE 80-90 lube or an approved o-ring chain spray lube. See page 141 for the part numbers of Polaris-recommended products. CAUTION 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. Don't use a high pressure washer or gasoline to clean the drive chain. Cylinder Head/Cylinder Base Fastener - 2-Cycle Have your dealer check the ATV cylinder head and cylinder base fasteners for proper torque at the first service or after 25 hours. 115
