4. To Install the transport flat
top chain, you must first
remove the guide block
(Fig. 26) on each side using
a metric hex wrench.
5. Before start installing
the chain. IMPORTANT!
Carefully support the chain
roll to avoid contact with
the floor and to prevent
kinking the chain. Support
a roll of transport chain as
shown in the assembly tip
on (Fig. 27).
Assembly Tip:
Support the roll of
chain on a rod or pole suspended
between two sawhorses or mounted
to an adjacent conveyor section. Avoid
contact with the floor which will
contaminate the chain with dirt and
cause premature pallet frame wear.
NOTE: The chain is delivered in 12-me-
ter rolls, with any amount 6 meters
or less delivered as a 6-meter roll.
If, for example, your system requires
39 meters of chain, you will receive
three 12-meter rolls of chain and
one 6-meter roll. Each package also
includes one carbon steel master link.
6. Start installing the chain.
IMPORTANT! Make sure
that you feed the chain in
the proper direction! At
transport level, this means
that the rear lip on each
plastic chain cap must
overlap the cap following it
as the chain travels toward
the drive module. The
directional arrow stamped
on the side of each chain
cap will help you feed
the chain correctly. The
illustration below shows the
proper direction (Fig. 28).
