7.5.1. Boom extension and retraction chains
Do not repair chains or insert links; if deficient, completely replace.
If there are two extension or retraction chains, replace both, along with the connections, at the
same time.
If the chains are soiled to the point that lubrication no longer helps, clean with petroleum ether
or diesel. Do not clean with acidic agents or a high pressure hose. These can damage the chains.
Check the chain regularly for lubrication, rust, breaks in the pins/plates and wear and tear.
Lubricate the chain every 100 hours (see maintenance schedule).
