Some 3G3391 Elevator Chains in parts stock may be assembled
without enough clearance between the chain sidebars. If there is not enough
clearance between the chain sidebars the chain may kink and jump off the
sprocket.

Hit the pin on the cotter side until .040" minimum clearance is maintained at
the joint as shown in the illustration.
Use a feeler gauge to check the joint for proper clearance.
Return all chains to dealer parts stock after they have been
reworked.
