PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
ENGLISH
The chain is composed of many small parts that work together. If
the chain is not serviced correctly, it will wear rapidly. Provide
regular chain maintenance, especially if you are using the vehi-
cle in a particularly dusty environment. Cleaning with steam, or
using pressurised products and some types of solvent can dam-
age the drive chain; therefore, do not use these to clean the
chain. Use only kerosene. After cleaning, dry the chain and lubri-
cate it with SAE 10W 40 engine oil or with a special lubricant for
chains or O-rings. Never use other kinds of lubricant. These can
contain solvents that could damage the chain.
The drive chain must be lubricated after washing the
vehicle or riding in the rain.
LUBRICATING THE DRIVE CHAIN
CHECKING AND LUBRICATING CABLES
Damage to the cable sheaths may interfere with proper
cable operation and cause the cable to rust. Replace a
damaged cable as soon as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
Lubricate the cables and their ends. If a cable is not working,
have an Authorised
MALAGUTI
Service Centre replace it.
Recommended lubricant: engine oil
Occasionally check wear of the chain and also look for the follow-
ing possible faults: excessive chain play ; links jammed on teeth;
links seized. If any of these faults are noticed, replace the chain.
If you have to replace the drive chain, also change the
pinion gear and gear-wheel. Never use a used chain on a
new pinion gear and gear-wheel.
Always contact an Authorised MALAGUTI Service Cen-
tre.
