16.3.2 Checking the chain setting
The lifting chains must be adjusted at regular periods due to stretching; see
below. The chain is checked during servicing as set out in the maintenance
schedule.
Any adjustment is made with the chain mounting bolts.
Adjust the fork height according to C code 7100, 7420, 7700 and 7800 as
applicable.
16.3.3 Checking the chain
The chains are subjected to two types of wear – outline wear and stretching.
Wear to the bolts and plate holes causes the chain to stretch. The chains are
also affected by the environment in which they are used.
Noise
If there has been insufficient lubrication, there will be metallic friction on the
chain and this will result in noise.
Replace the chain.
Surface rust
Surface rust is easy to recognise as the chain will be reddish brown. Deep-
seated rust has generally started and the strength of the chain is impaired.
Replace the chain.
Rusty links
Fretting corrosion results in a reddish-brown powder being visible on the
outer plates. It can also appear as if the chain is bleeding if lubricated.
Replace the chain.
Stiff links
If it is not possible to pull out the chain to its normal position this can be
because of link rust or seizing.
Replace the chain.
