Vehicle Systems Testing And Adjusting
Chain Adjustment
If the tension is not the same on both chains, do the
procedure that follows:
Personal injury can be caused by sudden move-
ment of the mast and carriage. Blocks must be
used to prevent the mast and carriage from any
movement while the adjustments are made. Keep
hands and feet clear of any parts that can move.
Inner Lift Chains
(1) Chain anchor nuts.
1. Lift the mast and carriage and put blocks under
the mast and carriage to release the tension from
the lift chains.
2. Make adjustments to chain anchor nuts (1) for
equal tension of the mast and carriage chains.
3. Put LOCTITE NO.242 Thread Lock on the threads
of the locknuts after the adjustment is completed.
Outer Lift Chains
(2) Chain anchor bolts.
Chain Wear Test
Chain wear test is a measurement of wear of the
chain links and pins. Do the steps that follow to
check chain wear.
1. Lift the mast and carriage enough to put tension
on the lift chains.
2. Measure precisely ten links of chain distance at
the center of pins in millimeter.
3. Calculate chain wear rate.
New one pitch = 19.05 mm
Chain wear rate (%)
=
Actual measurement - 190.5
x 100
190.5
Do not put a lift truck into service if the chain wear
indication is 2% or more. A reading of 2% or more
could cause damage or injury to persons.
4. If the chain wear indication is 2% or more, replace
the lift chain.
