Chain System: The ramp utilizes a 3 chain system. Two drive chains, left and right, provide the means for the carriage to travel along. The third chain, in the rear of the cassette, interlocks the left and right drive chain to rotate in sequence (or equal time).
During normal operation, none of the 3 chains move. However, during manual operation of the ramp, all 3 chains travel equal distances. To lubricate, a light oil may be used on the chains, but should be limited to reduce the possible buildup of debris.
