Revision A.0

When using the chains to attach the scanner you must first
determine the number of links required based upon diameter
of the pipe.  Using the table in Appendix C, determine the
number of long and/or short links required as a starting point.  
The number of links specified in the table do not include the
short links that are attached to each side of the LPX-1000
(shown right).

Once the number of long and/or short links has been
determined, connect them all by hooking the ends of the
links together (shown right).  

Once all links have been attached together, hook the last
link with the latching link hook as shown to the right.  
With the Latching Lever in the position shown, adjust the
travel (blue arrow) of the hook until it catches the hook on
the last link.
