2. ALIGN AND INSERT Pull both ends of the chain together, insert the connecting link into the joints of the inner link, and place the connecting link plate over the pin ends. Be sure to squarely seat the mating tapers in the connecting link plate with those of the threaded pins. Once the connecting link plate is seated, use a clamp to hold the assembly square. 2.

3. LOWER NUT INSTALLATION Tighten the lower fixing nuts (convex nuts) to the specified torque. When fastening the nuts, alternate back and forth between the two nuts to ensure the connecting link plate remains square to the pins throughout the nstallation. Do not overtighten the nuts. Fastening the nuts beyond their pecified torque level will be detrimental and may cause failure. Once the ower fixing nuts are torqued to specification, the clamp may be removed. 3.

4. UPPER NUT INSTALLATION Tighten the upper locking nuts (concave nuts) to the recommended torque. Do not overtighten the nuts. Fastening the nuts beyond their specified torque level will be detrimental and may cause failure. 4. UPPER NUT INSTALLATION Tighten the upper locking nuts (concave nuts) to the recommended torque.
