ASSEMBLING A NEW CHAIN GUIDE
Chain sprocket Cylindrical pins
Chain guide Stripper
Lubricate the new chain sprocket as shown in
the figure.
Lubricant: “High-Lub LT1 EP”. For details, see
“Lubricants”, page 85.
Place the chain sprocket in the new chain
guide.
Push the stripper from below into the chain
guide.
Hammer in the cylindrical pin(s) (1x or 2x).
DRAWING IN THE NEW CHAIN
Use exclusively ABUS genuine replacement chains.
For technical data on the chain, see “Checking the
wear on the chain”, page 34.
Vertical chain link
Turn the chain as shown in the figure. The first
chain link should be pulled into the chain guide
upright (on edge).
The position of the weld seam to the chain link
(toward the inside or the outside) does not
need to be taken into account.
Pull the chain into the chain guide.
Tip:
Affix cable ties or wire to the end of the chain and use
that to pull the chain through the chain guide.
Tip:
Depending on the hook path, the new chain may be
very heavy.
For easier installation:
Old chain
New chain C-shaped chain link
Detach about a half metre from the old chain
and pull this short piece as described into the
chain guide and install the chain guide.
Once the cha
in hoist functions again, use a cut
open C-shaped chain link to insert the new
chain into the old remainder and allow the new
chain to slowly be run in.
