Load Chain Installation
The load chain should always be installed using the flexible plastic insertion tool (1 in Fig 4-5).
Using this tool helps to ensure that the load chain is installed correctly. Support the chain during
installation to prevent the insertion tool from distortion. Insertion tool is available from R&M.
