The document provides instructions for replacing a conveyor chain. It outlines 5 steps: 1) empty the conveyor, 2) switch off and secure the conveyor, 3) loosen the tension to release spring tension, 4) support the chain section to prevent falling, and 5) use an angle grinder to cut one outer link plate at each end of the chain strand to be replaced. It notes to only cut the chain using an angle grinder for certain chain types and warns never to cut link plates with flame cutting as it may cause the chain to lose strength.
