●
When fitting the drag chains with cables of varying diameters (> ±20 %)
use chains with divided chambers or racks. When fitting the drag chains
with multi-layered cables, mount bars between the layers.

Multi-layer allocation of drag chains
●
Before fastening the cables within the drag chains, move them at least 10
to 20 times. This relaxes the cables and brings them into a neutral position.
After the machine has been operated for approx. 24 hours, readjust the
cables.
●
Fasten both ends of the cables. The minimum distance is 30 times the
cable diameter measured from the end point of the bending motion. Fasten
the cables across a large area of the outer jacket. The inner wires (core)
must only be slightly squeezed. If the cables are squeezed strongly, their
service life will be shortened.
