In case of broken individual chain links, the ChainLance can be opened as
described under point 10.2 to replace those defective chain links.
It is temporarily also possible to remove a defective chain link without the
need to insert a new chain link.
10.4 Replacing individual chain links
-69-
Attention!
After removing the chain link, the strapping system has to be restarted. After
each restart, the control unit automatically adjusts to the correct zero position
in accordance with point 8.4.
Note!
As the new shorter chain length is unknown to the control unit, it may
happen that when driving out the chain completely, the end of the chain will
not be recognized correctly any longer and the ChainLance will be pushed out
over the driving gearwheel.
This can cause a malfunction. Therefore, missing chain links should be
replaced as soon as possible.
