Chains should be lubricated at frequent intervals.
Apply light engine oil (10wt) to the chain or aerosol
chain lube. Oil the chain on the inside located in the
upper side of lower the strand (See Figure 54).
The chains should also be cleaned regularly.
Remove the chains and dip or soak them in parts
cleaning solvent or equivalent. Once the chains
have been cleaned, dry and oil them thoroughly.

The split end of the chain clip must face the
direction opposite of the chain travel. Make sure the
clip is properly seated in the groove on the ends of
