Washing the chain
Chains with O-rings must be washed in oil, diesel fuel or paraffin (kerosene).
Do not use fuel, trichloroethylene or other solvents which will damage the rubber O-rings. For the same reason use only
sprays specifically formulated for use with O-ring chains.
Lubricating the chain
O-ring chains have sealed, life-lubed link studs and bushes. However, these chains need lubricating at regular intervals to
protect metal parts of the chain and the O-rings.
Lubrication also serves to keep the O-rings soft and pliable to ensure the maximum sealing efficiency.
Using a brush, apply a thin protective layer of high-density gearbox oil along the entire length of the chain both inside and
outside (Sect. 3 - 2,
Fuel, lubricants and other fluids).
