Elevator Chain
Maintain 7 to 10 in. (18 to 25 cm) between the chain and
the frame. Measure midway between the upper and
lower rollers. Also, adjust the chain if the sag differs
more than 2 in. (5 cm) from one side to the other.
If a chain must be taken up more than 3 in. (8 cm), use
an offset link to replace 2 links. If it must be let out more
than 3 in. (8 cm), insert an off set link between two links.
Use offset links in pairs, one on each chain, between the
same two elevator flights.
