Chains Cont.
Lubrication
Inspect all chains to see if they are properly lubricated before each use. If they are not, do so immediately. Also lu-
bricate after entering mud, water, or after raining/washing inside the Mudd-Ox. Keeping chains lubricated enables
them to move smoothly, prevents rust and premature wear. Simply spray lubricant over entire chain surface area.
Always keep the chain wells inside the lower body clean, dry and lubed. There should never be debris such as dirt,
mud, sticks or any other foreign objects. Cleanliness and care will ensure longevity.
1. See Accessing the Mudd-Ox to remove lower seats, engine cover and floor boards.
2. Ensure the lower chain wells are dry and free of any debris or foreign objects.
3. Use roller chain lubricant. Completely cover the visible sections of all chains with the lubricant.
4. Next is to rotate the chains so that non-visible areas become visible, and lubrication can be achieved. As the XL
is hydrostatic, step #1 must be reversed. Then, drive the vehicle a few feet forward. This will rotate the chains.
5. Repeat steps #1-4 until chains are completely lubricated.
6. Reinstall floor boards, engine cover and lower seats.
