Table 1
Carefully inspect the entire load chain. As illustrated in Figure 15, measure five consecutive links with calipers to measure the length. Check every three feet and especially where excessive wear is indicated. Any load chain that shows noticeable deformation or heat influence must be replaced with a new one. Never extend load chain by welding a second piece to the original.
