ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
Elevator chain requires adjustment when distance between bottom of elevator frame and eleva-
tor chain is greater than 9 in. (229 mm). Distance between bottom of elevator frame and eleva-
tor chain should be 5-9 in. (127-229 mm).
When an adjustment is made to one elevator chain, the same adjustment must be made to sec-
ond elevator chain.
