MAINTENANCE
Lubrication and cleaning
The chain should always be kept well lubricated and must
be cleaned especially after having been o road with mud or
sand. Whenever there are dry or rusted parts, if there are
crushed or bound links, the chain must be lubricated and
the deteriorated parts restored to working condition. It this
is impossible, consult a Dealer.
Do not clean the chain with jets of water or steam, high-
pressure water jets or highly inflammable solvents.
See the LUBRICANTS table for products recommended
for lubricating and cleaning the chain.
Checking the chain, sprocket and ring gear for wear
Check the following parts and check the chain, sprocket and ring gear for:
– worn rollers;
– loose pins;
– dry, rusted, crushed or bound links;
– excessive wear;
– missing sealing rings;
– excessively worn or damaged sprocket or gear teeth.
If any one of these parts is damaged, the whole chain assembly (sprocket, chain and ring gear) must be replaced.
Also check the chain guide (B) and chain slider (A).
