The owner's manual recommends an inspection every 500 miles, which could include cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, or replacing. There's nothing wrong with that guidance.
I clean mine at every oil change, so about every 4000 miles. I use kerosene, a toothbrush, and a rag to clean the chain, then I spray on whatever O-ring friendly chain lube I have laying around to lubricate it. Seems to work fine.
