Drive chain cleaning and lubrication

The drive chain is equipped with rubber O-
rings between the chain plates. Steam
cleaning, high-pressure washes, and cer-
tain solvents can damage these O-rings.
Use only kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubricate it
with SAE 30 ~ 50 motor oil. Do not use any
other lubricants on the drive chain. They
may contain solvents that could damage
the O-rings.

aged cables.
