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.
1-fall chain:
1. Insert the last chain link onto the small plastic hook of the insertion tool.
2. Insert the other side of the tool in the sprocket as shown in Figure 4-5.
3. Place the load chain on the chain sprocket so the chain link welds are toward the pocket as
shown in Figure 4-6.
4. Raise the chain at slow speed so that the tool and the chain come out the other side of the
sprocket.
