E LEVATING A SSEMBLY W EAR I NSPECTION
Refer to Figure 3-16: “Elevating Assembly,” on page Section 3-20.
At the same time as the chain lubrication task, inspect all elevating assembly components for wear.
With the platform in the stowed position;
inspect the system through the platform mast cover (43) to look for worn pulleys (11 & 13) or damaged
components.
Inspect the chain anchors (7,10 and 12) and visible portions of lift chain as you lubricate it.
Look for cracks in the chain links, kinks in any portion of chain, and excessive corrosion.
From the lower controls, raise the platform and block the elevating assembly (see Figure 3-1: “Supporting
Elevating Assembly,” on page Section 3-3).
Inspect the inner chain anchors (9, 30 and 31) and the ends of the chains for damage or worn parts.
If damage is present, replace the components.
IMPORTANT: There are two pairs of two chains each, for a total of four chains. If only one chain of either pair is
damaged, both chains in the pair must be replaced.
