MAINTENANCE Drive Chain Lubrication Lubricate the drive chain with POLARIS chain spray lube or an approved chain lube at the general lubrication interval specified in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53. Lubricate more often under severe use, such as in dirty or wet conditions. See page 94 for the part numbers of POLARIS products. NOTICE: Washing the drive chain with a high pressure washer or gasoline can cause premature wear and drive chain failure. Don't use a high pressure washer or gasoline to clean the drive chain. Adjusting or operating the vehicle with improper rear drive chain slack can result in severe damage to the transmission and drive components. Always make sure the slack is within the stated specifications. Drive Chain Slack 1. Check the amount of chain slack by moving the vehicle slightly forward to gain slack at the top side of the chain. 2. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support securely under the mainframe. Allow the swing arm to hang at full shock extension without touching the ground. This establishes the tightest chain position. 3. Pull down on the chain tensioner to move it out of the way, then measure chain slack. It should have 1/4"-1/2" (6-12 mm) deflection. 4. If the chain needs adjustment, use the procedure on page 63.

MAINTENANCE
Drive Chain Lubrication
Lubricate the drive chain with POLARIS chain spray lube or an
approved chain lube at the general lubrication interval specified in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53. Lubricate more often
under severe use, such as in dirty or wet conditions. See page 94 for the
part numbers of POLARIS products.
NOTICE:
Washing the drive chain with a high pressure washer or gasoline can
cause premature wear and drive chain failure. Don't use a high
pressure washer or gasoline to clean the drive chain.
Adjusting or operating the vehicle with improper rear drive chain slack
can result in severe damage to the transmission and drive
components. Always make sure the slack is within the stated
specifications.
Drive Chain Slack
1.
Check the amount of chain
slack by moving the vehicle
slightly forward to gain slack
at the top side of the chain.
2.
Raise the rear of the vehicle
and support securely under
the mainframe. Allow the
swing arm to hang at full
shock extension without
touching the ground. This
establishes the tightest chain
position.
3.
Pull down on the chain ten-
sioner to move it out of the
way, then measure chain
slack. It should have 1/4"-1/2"
(6-12 mm) deflection.
4.
If the chain needs adjustment,
use the procedure on page 63.
