Never operate this vehi-
cle with the drive chain too loose or
too tight as severe damage to the
drive components can occur.
When the adjustment is done, repeat
the above procedure to check the de-
flection several times at different spots
on the chain.
Wheels
Occasionally, wheel nuts should be re-
moved to apply anti-seize lubricant on
studs to ease future removal. This is
particularly important when vehicle is
used in salt-water environment or in
mud. Remove one nut at a time, lubri-
cate then retorque to 50 N•m ± 5 N•m
(37 lbf•ft ± 4 lbf•ft).
