Chain Checklist
Check chains for:
(1) Elongation Due to Joint Wear - Chain is worn when it has grown 5%.
(2) Stiff Joints - Drag chain barrels packed with debris lead to failure of the pins.
(3) Sidebar Wear - Inside of links worn from sides of sprocket teeth indicate misalignment. Check
bottom sides for bending or wear.
(4) Roller Wear - Worn or gouged rollers could indicate sprocket problems such as hooked teeth.
Excessive play indicates interior diameter of rollers are worn.
(5) Obstructions - Loose or out-of-line joints or liner wear plates could catch on chain slats.
