PAGE 191 ALMAC s.r.l. 6.4.14 Checking of the outreach extension and retraction chains 6.4.14.1 Lengthening of the chains Attention: The chain must be replaced when the elongation reaches 3% of the original length. To check the elongation it is necessary to measure the length of approximately 10 links of the chain (record the value) before the machine is put back into service.
Page 192
PAGE 192 ALMAC s.r.l. 6.4.14.2 Tensioning the chains Periodically it is advisable to check the tension of the chains. If it is clear that the chains are loose, proceed as follows: 1. Control the exit and the re-entry of the slides for 3-4 times; 2.
