DRIVE CHAIN LUBRICATION AND
ADJUSTMENT
Lubricate the drive chain with Polaris chain spray lube or an approved chain lube
at the interval specified in the Maintenance Schedule, see page 87. Lubricate
more often under severe use, such as in dirty or wet conditions.
IMPORTANT
Washing the drive chain with a high pressure washer or solvents can cause
premature wear and chain failure. Do not use a high pressure washer or
gasoline to clean the drive chain. Operating the vehicle with improper rear
drive chain deflection can result in severe damage to the transmission and
drive components. Always make sure the chain adjusted within the stated
specifications.
1. Remove cap from rear of the
cargo area.
2. Loosen upper nut
q
on the
chain tensioner bracket.
3. Turn lower nuts
w
clockwise in
1/2 turn increments, then turn
upper nut until tight. Follow this
procedure until chain is at
proper tension. To check for
proper tension, press the down
on the middle of the chain with
thumb using 22 lbs (100N) of
force. Chain deflection
e
should be within specification.
