4 INSPECTIONS
4.1 Load Chain Inspection
Check the condition of the load chain regularly. Never use the equipment if any of its links are cracked or
deformed. Link wear must not exceed 10 % of the specified diameter of the load chain.
Measure the load chain over 5 links + 2 diameters as shown below in the Load Chain Technical Specification
section. Compare the measurement with the appropriate value of the Dimension over 5 links + 2 diameters
for a new load chain.
Replace the unit if the link wear exceeds 10 %.
