DRIVE CHAIN 3.3
Chain Inspection
The drive chains should be inspected for wear or damage
after the first 50 hours of operation and every 150 hours
thereafter, or at any time the final drive inspection cover
is removed. If the chain shows any sign of wear or dam-
age replace it. (fig. C3769) Inspect as follows:
1. Inspect the chain for excessive roller wear
2. Inspect the chain for excessive wear on the link
plates
3. Inspect the connection link cotter pins for wear or
damage caused by interference.
4. Check the sprocket for excessive wear or damage
such as broken teeth or sharp/rounded teeth.
5. If the chain is removed from the loader, check for
stiffness caused by wear between the pins and
bushings.
6. If the chain is removed from the loader, check that
when laid out it runs straight and not to one side,
indicating misalignment.
