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 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 Polaris Chain Lube, an SAE 80-90 lube or an approved o-ring chain spray lube. See page 107 for the part numbers of Polaris 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. Do not use a high pressure washer or gasoline to clean the drive chain. 74
