MAINTENANCE 3.8 CHAINCASE Do not mix or use improper types of lubricants in chaincase. Excessive wear to chain, sprockets and bearings may result. CAUTION: The drive chain is continuously immersed in the chaincase oil. Proper oil level is determined by checking the level on the dipstick with machine placed on a level surface. The oil level should be between the “safe” marks on the dipstick. NOTE: Clean the magnetic plug (E) every 500 miles (800 km) and whenever checking or changing lubricant. Metal shavings on magnetic plug are signs of normal wear. The dipstick has a magnet on the end of it. When you check your chaincase oil level for the first time do not be alarmed if you see small metal shavings. These shavings are common for chaincase break in and the magnet is there to keep the shavings from floating around. Add oil through dipstick opening to maintain proper level. Use Polaris chaincase oil. Do not overfill. DRIVE CHAIN TENSION 1. Elevate rear of machine so track is off floor. |
