CHECK CHAINS (Extra Equipment) LIFT MODELS
Check Chains are available for attachment to the front of the cutter as an accessory. Check Chains are used to

effortlessly.

using Bolt (8), Lockwasher (9) and Nut (10). Tighten securely.

and length. Cat I kit requires a 3/4” diameter Bolt. Cat II kit requires a 1” diameter Bolt. Install top end of Check
