USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL - SECTION 8 CHECKS ON LIFTING CHAINS 1) Chain noise A grinding metal noise will be heard if the chains are not fully lubricated. This causes metal-metal friction between the joints of the chain, which can lead to seizing-slipping effect, causing the work platform to move unevenly.
Page 64
USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL - SECTION 8 9) Broken pins This problem usually occurs as a result of corrosion in the chain joints. Since the pins of a single chain are subject to the same load and corrosion conditions, one failure is usually followed by more. Experience has shown that this type of failure is not always easily recognised as there are no evident changes in the chain conditions, especially in the initial stage.
