DIAMOND CHAIN COMPANY — ROLLER CHAIN APPLICATION INFORMATION

WHEN DISASSEMBLING OR ASSEMBLING CHAINS:

WARNING: —The components of a chain are hardened parts. Striking these parts may cause metal chips to break off from the chain or the tools used resulting in personal injury. During all stages of chain disassembly and assembly, wear safety glasses to prevent metal parts or chips from entering your eyes and have personnel in the immediate area do likewise.

A. Pin Removal

1)If chain is of cotter pin- type construction, remove cotters.

2)If chain is riveted type construction, grind pin heads off so pin ends are flush with the linkplate.

3)Drive pins out of linkplate using a Diamond pin extractor Model #113 or 135. Some multiple strand chains or large pitch models will require a hammer and punch or a press to remove the pins.

B. Installation of Coversides

Diamond coversides are manufactured three different ways:

(1)Slip Fit, (2) Modified Press Fit, and (3) Full Press Fit. Modified and Full Press Fits require some patience and tools to assemble and/or disassemble. Use vice grips, plumbers pliers or a small hammer to drive coversides onto pins.

C. Installation of Spring Locks and Cotterpins

After coversides have been installed, install spring locks or cotters (depending on chain design). Avoid using bent or worn cotters or spring locks. After spring locks (or cotters) are installed, lightly tap pin ends to position these parts snug against the coverside for additional support.

WARNING

WHEN INSTALLING CHAIN DRIVES ON EQUIPMENT:

WARNING — You may be seriously injured if you attempt to install chain on equipment under power. Shut off power and lock out gears and sprockets before attempting installation.

Once installed, the chain drive must be guarded to prevent personal injury or properly damage in the event the chain separates during operation. If chain drive is not guarded, contact equipment manufacturer for recommendations on guarding before using equipment.

Knowing more about how the chain is constructed may help in assembly and disassembly. Further information may be obtained by calling or writing Diamond Chain Company.
