Chain Installation
DRIVE CHAIN 3.3
1 Wrap the chain in a “Z” pattern as shown in fig.
C2273.
2 Install the wrapped chain into the final drive housing.
5 Install a new connecting link. When installing a front
chain, place the connecting link into the chain so the cot-
ter pins face the inspection cover hole(fig. C2428). When
installing a rear chain, place the connecting link so that
the pins face inward. (fig. C2429) Bend the ends of the
cotter pins at least 90 º apart.
6 Replace the inspection cover. Do not over tighten
the inspection cover nuts. 15 ft lbs maximum. (20.3 Nm)
7 Replace the wheels and torque the wheel nuts to 100
to 110 ft lbs. (136 to 149 Nm).
3 Place one end of the chain over the top of the axle
sprocket. Rotate the axle and bring the chain along the
bottom of the final drive housing so that the upper end of
the chain is halfway between the drive sprocket and the
edge of the transmission opening.
4 Wrap the chain over the drive sprocket. Rotate the
axle until the ends of the chain meet together. (fig.
C5079)
