NOTE : 

Make sure the chain has dried completely before

applying the lubrication. 

1. To clean and lubricate the chain, first use a small soft

(nylon) brush, mild detergent and water solution to

gently remove the heavier soils. Do not scrub the chain. 

2. Wipe the chain dry with a clean shop towel and apply

an O-ring chain lubricant to the entire length of the

chain.

3. Next, inspect the chain slack and adjust it if necessary.
