Inspecting the glide shoes
Illustration/NoteAction
Check the thickness of the glide shoes. If it is
less than 1.5 mm the glide shoes must be re-
placed.
1
Normally only the glide shoes in the area that
make first contact when the chain transitions
into gliding mode need to be checked. However
due to process cycle variation in factories it is
recommended to check all the glide shoes for
the first inspection and note the point of wear
for the next inspection.
See Refitting the glide shoes on
page 252.
Make an overall inspection of the glide shoes.
Replace broken or missing shoes.

Inspecting the strapping
Illustration/NoteAction
Check that strapping is in place. Each cable is
required to be individually strapped down, and
not bunched together.
1
If insufficient holes are available in the connec-
tion plates for individual strapping with cable
ties, the cables should be secured in such a
way that they cannot move.
Only use heavy duty cable ties, specified in
Required equipment on page 164. If strapping
has been replaced ensure that a paint pen is
used to mark both sides of the cable tie.
