•
Inspect the sprocket teeth for wear or
damage.
If the chain is slack in one section and tight in
another, some links are kinked and binding.
Binding can be eliminated by frequent
lubrication.
•
Turn the chain to view chain lock plate (4)
inside the hole. Ensure that the chain lock
plate open end (5) is installed in the
opposite direction of the chain rotation.
Rotate the wheel and check drive chain slack
as the wheel rotates. Drive chain slack
should remain constant as the wheel rotates.
•
If the drive chain or sprockets are
excessively worn or damaged, they should
be replaced. Never use a new chain with
worn out sprockets since this will result in
rapid chain wear.
