MAINTENANCE
Drive Chain Inspection
1. Check the amount of chain slack by moving the vehicle
slightly forward to gain chain deflection.
2. Collapse the suspension with an adjustable trailer tie down.
Fasten the strap around the axle and rear bumper tube.
3. Tighten the strap while compressing the suspension to
create a straight sight-line between the rear axle and the
gear case output shaft. This establishes the tightest chain
position.
4. Pull down on the tensioner to move it out of the way, then
measure the chain deflection. Allowable chain deflection is
6-12 mm (1/4”-1/2”).
