PRE-CUT CHECKLIST
• Ensure proper chain tension: The chain should be easily pulled around
the guidebar by hand.
• Ensure all safety devices are properly mounted and functional and that
all controls are in proper working order.
• Be sure there are no obstructions (plumbing, electrical conduit, air
ducts) and no unnecessary people present.
• Always wear protective clothing, including hard hat, eye protection,
hearing protection, non-slip safety boots, and gloves. Avoid wearing
loose fitting clothing.
• Adequate Water Supply and Pressure:
Minimum Flow: 2 gpm (8 lpm)
Minimum Water Pressure: 20 psi (1.5 bar)
• Diamond chains with SealPro
®
require a minimum
water pressure of 20 psi (1.5 bar).
The single most important factor an operator can control to increase
chain life is to use adequate water pressure. Insufficient water supply
will result in excessive wear to the chain, which can lead to loss of
strength and chain breakage, and/or damage to the guidebar nose
sprocket.
