Care of Chains

IMPORTANT: Liberally apply SAE 30 or heavier oil, or John Deere Chain Lube spray to chain every 10 hours of operation.

Replace chain if it has stretched to the end of adjustment slot. Removing links and running stretched chain will damage sprockets.

Do not run chain so loose that it slaps or so tight that premature failure occurs.

Be sure sprockets in each drive are properly aligned. Inspect sprockets frequently to make sure teeth are not worn enough to cause damage to chain.

When fastening a chain, be sure closed end of spring clip faces in the direction chain will travel.
