1. SAFETY

WARNING! Before use, ensure that the motorcycle is adequately supported during the chain cleaning process.
Ensure that the motorcycle engine is switched off.
Maintain the motorcycle support stand to be used in good condition for immediate use when required.
Locate the motorcycle in a suitable work area. Keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting. Also ensure that the floor is level and flat (preferably concrete) to take the weight of the stand and the bike. DO NOT support the motorcycle on tarmacadam, as the surface may become unstable.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
Ensure that the bike is adequately secured to any stand used.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
Always use a good quality proprietry degreaser with the chain cleaner.

4. ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

4.1. Position the motorcycle in a suitable working area, checking that the surface on which it will be supported is level and flat (preferably concrete).
4.2. Support the rear wheel off the ground using a suitable stable stand. A paddock stand is ideal.

4.2. Remove the chain cover.
4.3. Push the larger diameter drain tube (3) onto the outlet on the lower surface of the chain enclosure as shown in fig.2.
4.4. Push a smaller diameter tube (4) onto the fluid inlets on either side of the chain enclosure lid as shown in fig.2.
4.5. With the chain enclosure cover open, position the enclosure beneath the lower part of the chain as shown in fig.3 and close the lid.
4.6. The chain enclosure must now be anchored to prevent it moving with the chain when the rear wheel is turned. Tie one end of the nylon cord (5) to one of the hooks provided, (7) or (8). Select a suitable anchor point on the motor cycle frame for the hook and feed the other end of the nylon chord through one of the tags on the chain enclosure. (See ‘T’ in fig.2). Adjust the length of the cord so that the chain enclosure is in the centre of the chain.
4.7. Using the ‘Y’ piece (6) connect together the inlet pipes attached to the chain enclosure lid and then connect the cleaning fluid bottle to the ‘Y’ piece using the remaining tube (4). See fig.2.
4.8. Place a suitable container under the outlet pipe (3) to collect the used degreaser.
4.9. Fill the degreaser container with a suitable proprietry degreasent and raise the container above the chain enclosure to start the flow of liquid.
4.10. Slowly turn the rear wheel of the motor cycle so that the chain travels through the chain enclosure keeping the anchor cord in tension. See diagramatic representation in fig.2.
4.11. Continue until the chain is clean.
4.12. Disassemble the chain cleaner from the bike and dispose of old degreaser fluid according to Local Authority regulations.
