z_chain_guide×1 · bin 10-chains - M5 roll-in T-nut ×1 · Fasteners, Tools & Misc box
- M5×10 BHCS ×1 · Fasteners, Tools & Misc box
- drag chain 10×15 R28 ×1 · Belts, Chains & Fans box
- M3×10 FHCS ×2 · Fasteners, Tools & Misc box
Do:
- Bolt the guide to the rear-bottom frame extrusion with the M5 T-nut and M5×10 BHCS, at deck level as p.201 shows.
- Attach the chain's lower end to the guide with two M3×10 FHCS, manual p.202.
Check
The guide is square to the extrusion and the chain hangs in a clean vertical loop.
What you're looking at
The Z chain is the largest of the three, 10 × 15 mm links on a 28 mm bend radius, because it carries the entire gantry harness down to the deck. The printed guide bolts to the frame and holds the chain's lower run.
