Elevator Dirt Chain (con’t.)
—————
D. After removing the links described in step 2C, connect the roller chains and determine the number
of pickets to remove. Cut the lacing wire(s) and remove pickets. Re-assemble the woven wire
chain, using Replacement pickets and lacing wires. Note the right and left hand weave of the woven
wire, and try to match the original patterns as close as possible. After the chain is re-assembled,
tack weld ends of lacing wires to pickets.
E. Tighten chain to correct tension, install drive chain and tension, and close all the shields and covers.
F. Test run machine.
