NEEDS ADJUSTMENT

Inspection of the chains will show the need for adjustment when the spring P/N 5133 is free of tension. Inspect chains after each 10 to 12 hours of operation. Proper lubrication is important for effective roller chain operation. Use high quality lubricating oil or motorcycle chain lube. (Do not use grease or heavy oil). Apply drops of oil to chain joints after every 25-50 hours of operation. DO NOT LUBRICATE IF OPERATED IN HEAVY DUST OR SAND.
