Note:
If these limits are exceeded, the chain must be replaced immediately. In this case, wear on the chain
guide and the chain sprocket should also be checked, and these should be replaced if necessary. For
instructions on how replace the return sprocket, see appendix Replacing the return sprocket for 2-fall bottom
hook.
Note:
If a single link is defective in any way whatsoever, the chain must be replaced.
CAUTION
Do not assume that a load chain is safe because it measures below the
replacement points that are given herein. Other factors, such as those
mentioned in visual checks above, may render the chain unsafe or ready for a
replacement long before elongation replacement is necessary.
CAUTION
A repetitive stop and start at the same point of the chain creates a more severe
wear on the 2
–
3 links in the chain sprocket.
