CHAIN CARE
Chain Care 


Chain Lubrication & Adjustment

Proper chain care will increase the life and improve performance of your Power Board.

Always keep the chain lubricated and tightened to proper tension.

Lubrication

Always keep the chains lubricated with a good chain spray or grease (not chain

wax). If the chains are allowed to run dry for a prolonged period they will fail, and the

life of the chain is severely shortened.

Chain Adjustment

The chain on the XTR should be adjusted from time to time. The chain should be

tight enough not to skip, but have a little bit of play. If you feel your chain skipping or

make a popping noise, adjust the tension immediately.

     

 
 

For regular adjustments:

1. Using a 16mm wrench, loosen the axel bolts on each side of the rear wheel .
 
 

2. While the axel bolts are loose, using a

10mm wrench loosen the tension bolts

behind the rear wheel of the XTR Lite and

move the rear wheel backwards to remove

the slack for the chain
 
 

3. Once this is achieved the wheel nuts must

then be relocked into position and wheel

alignment must be checked (while turning

the wheel, visually check that the clearance

between the wheel and the frame parts

have clearance).

*Note: Chains that are run excessively dry

or loose can result in sprocket teeth being

severely damaged
