Hi Chris; I'm not seeing that under the tech tips no matter how I search for it but I'm guessing it was tied to an older variation/part number so it is still showing up. I'll put in a note to get it removed so there is no confusion, thanks for pointing it out. To be clear, you do not need any additional safety chain loops for the # C78ZV since they are integrated.
