CHAIN REMOVAL, CLEANING & REPLACEMENT CHAIN REMOVAL, CLEANING & REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the chain master link retaining clip
with needle nose pliers. Do not bend or twist
the clip. remove the master link and remove the
drive chain.
2. Clean the drive chain with a non-ammable
solvent such as kerosene - NOT gasoline - and
allow it to dry.
3. Inspect the drive chain for possible wear or
damage. Replace the drive chain if it has any
damaged rollers, loose tting links or otherwise
appears unserviceable.
4. Inspect the sprockets for wear or damage. EGL MotorEGL Motor recommends that you replace the sprockets when
you install a new drive chain.
5. Pass the chain over the sprockets and join the ends of the chain with the master link. For ease of
assembly, hold the chain ends against adjacent rear sprocket teeth while inserting the master
link. Install the master link retaining clip so that the closed end of the clip will face the direction
of the forward wheel rotation.
6. Don’t forget to lubricate the chain thoroughly.
e master link is the most critical element of drive chain security. Master links are reusable, if they are in ex-
cellent condition. We recommend installing a new master link when you install a new drive chain. You may nd
it easier to install a new chain by connecting it to the old chain using a master link and pulling the old chain to
position the new chain on the sprockets.
