ISWP Integrated
shortening element
The ISWP is an integrated shortening element in grade 12,
suitable for the shortening of chains and the forming of
slings that must not tighten. The special design of the chain
contact fosters the ideal interplay between the chain and the
shortening element. The ISWP may not be combined with
other grades, such as the KWB G12 chain SUN ALLOY.
The ISWP integrated shortening element complies with
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and may only be used in
accordance with the Declaration of Incorporation
and once the operating manual has been fully read and
understood.
This operating manual must be made available to users until
the ISWP integrated shortening elements are removed
from service. This operating manual is subject to an ongoing
improvement process and is therefore only valid in its most
recent version, available for download at www.pewag.com.
The ISWP integrated shortening element must be free to
align itself in the load direction and must not be exposed to
bending stress or edge loading. Even when shortened, the
load capacity is not reduced. Please consult the tables below
for maximum load capacities.
Normal operating temperature:
pewag winner pro 200: -40 °C to 200 °C
pewag winner pro 300: -60 °C to 200 °C
For possible deviations from normal operating temperatures,
please consult the information texts for the individual
components.
Shocks: Components must not be subjected to shock-
loading! In case of impacts, restrictions on use apply.

Designated use
Purpose: ISWP integrated shortening elements are used as
shortening hooks for lifting chains of the same nominal size
or the formation of slings that must not tighten.
A chain link of the same nominal size and grade is hooked
into the cross-slit on the shortening element, thus creating a
variable, permanently load-bearing chain segment.
The product ensures the optimal interplay between the
variable load- bearing chain segment and the permanently
load-bearing segment.
Load: Only in a longitudinal direction in the cross-slit area
(variable load-bearing chain segment) and further down in
the clevis area (permanently load-bearing chain segment).

ISWP assembly instructions
for the permanently
load-bearing chain segment
The permanently load bearing chain segment (see fig. 1)
is adjusted at the end of the chain sling using the shortening
element. For assembly, see the section Assembly
instructions for clevis system.

ISWP Assembly instructions
for the variable load-bearing
chain segment
Assembly must be performed by a competent person who
has all the required knowledge and skills. pewag winner pro
ISWP integrated shortening elements are linked directly to
the chain strand via the cross slit. The safety latch comes with
a two-step mechanism. Depending on the system, the trigger
of the safety latch system is activated from left to right or from
right to left. The factory setting for the trigger is for left-to-right
activation. As the safety latch is based on a two-step system,
the safety latch is activated in a two-step process. As a first
step, the trigger is pushed from left to right. As a second step,
the slider is pushed towards the centre of the cross area.
By holding down the safety latch, the chain strand may be
threaded through the cross and the ISWP may be positioned
to obtain the desired length (see fig. 2-5).
Two-step mechanism:

When you let go, the safety latch snaps into the locked
position. If the green marking is fully visible, the trigger of the
safety latch and the chain linked to the ISWP are fully locked
(see fig. 6). If the green marking is not fully visible, the lifting
operation may not be performed (see fig. 7).
Repeat the two- step mechanism and ensure that the green
marking is fully visible, thus ensuring that the shortening
element is locked in place. If the ISWP shortening element
ceases to function properly due to extreme dirt build-up,
the product may be cleaned by a competent person.
For assembly/disassembly by a competent person, please
refer to the assembly instruction of the safety latch
(included in the delivery).

Next, the stopper set must be placed at the end of the
variable, non-load-bearing chain segment. Depending on
the chain leg position, attach the stopper to the last but one
or last but two chain links (see fig. 8 to 10). Fig 11 shows an
incorrectly mounted stopper set. Now, place the snap hook
at the end of the variable non-load-bearing chain segment
and hang the snap hook back into the upper part of the
variable load-bearing chain segment. The variable non-load-
bearing chain segment (loop) must not be placed under load!
(Fig. 13). In addition, the stopper set prevents the shortening
element from sliding through the chain strand in case of
incorrect use of the safety latch.
Note: The stopper set with snap hook, nut and screw must
not be placed under load!

Figure 15 – Hanging back in shortened situation
Note: The variable load-bearing chain segment and the
permanently load-bearing segment are the load-bearing
chain segments within the chain sling. The variable non-
load-bearing chain segment (loop) and the snap hook must
not be placed under load! The stopper set with snap hook,
nut and screw must not be placed under load!
Shortening: Please note that a minimum of 4 WINPRO chain
links (non-load-bearing) must be present at the end of the
process to ensure that the attached stopper set is not
placed under load!
Protective measures to be
taken by the user
Always wear safety gloves. If conditions apply that entail
restrictions on use, always use the load capacity reduction
factors as indicated in this manual to ensure maximum
safety!
Remaining risks
Overloading caused by failure to comply with the maximum
load capacity or failure to reduce load capacity due to
temperature, asymmetry, edge or shock-loading may cause
components to fail, as may incorrect assembly, improper use
with chemicals, food products, cosmetic or pharmaceutical
products, exceeding the maximum angle of inclination,
strong vibrations in combination with high loads, transverse
loading or the use of non-inspected components.
Such failure may cause loads to fall, constituting a direct or
indirect danger to the physical condition or health of persons
who are present within the hazard area of lifting devices.
Procedure in case of accidents
or faults
In case of blocked safety catches or if individual components
become stuck on the load, do not use excessive force to
avoid damage. Lower the load and resolve the fault using
manual force. If individual components show signs of
deformation (e.g. due to overloading) or in case of other
unusual events, the lifting chain must be removed from
service and handed to a competent person for inspection
or repair.
Maintenance, inspections
and repairs
Maintenance: Components must be cleaned regularly.
Inspections: Components must always be inspected in
a clean condition, free from oil, dirt and rust. Paint is only
admissible if it does not obstruct the correct evaluation
of the component state. Cleaning procedures that cause
embrittlement of the material, overheating (e.g. flame-
cleaning), abrasion (e.g. blasting) etc. are not permitted.
Cracks or other defects must not be covered up during
cleaning. Prior to each use, components must be inspected
by the user for visible defects. They must be inspected by a

April 2019
competent person at least once a year. Please note that this
interval may be shortened due to prevalent conditions of use,
for instance frequent use at maximum load capacity or when
restrictions on use apply.
A crack test must be performed every 2 years. This may
be done in several ways: loading with 2-fold load capacity,
followed by visual inspection, dye penetrant inspection,
magnetic surface crack testing (magnetic particle testing).
Discard criteria: If one or several of the following criteria
apply, chains and components must be removed from
service immediately:
• Breaking.
• Illegible markings.
• Deformed components or chain.
• Cuts, notches, grooves, surface cracks: These defects may
cause sudden breakage, in particular if running across the
direction of pull!
• In case of wear or chemical removal of material (e.g. pitting
corrosion), discolouration due to excessive heat exposure,
signs of subsequent welding.
• Missing or malfunctioning safety mechanism and signs of
widening of the hooks. The jaw opening must not exceed
10 % of the nominal value! An open safety catch also
indicates that the hook is overloaded.
• In case of doubt regarding the functioning and/or safety of
components.
Maximum admissible dimensional change based on the
nominal dimension:
Designation Dimension Admissible deviation
ISWP e +5 %
Clevis bolts d -10 %
Repairs: Repairs may only be performed by competent
persons who have the necessary skills and knowledge.
Small cuts, notches and grooves may be removed by careful
grinding or filing. After the repair, the treated area must
merge smoothly with the surrounding material, without abrupt
changes of the cross-section. Repair works must not reduce
the dimension of the area by more than 10 % – discard
criteria must not apply after the repair. Bent components must
not be welded, subjected to heat treatments or straightened.
Always keep records of inspections and repair works and
ensure that these are stored throughout the service life of the
components.
Storage
ISWP integrated shortener must be stored clean, dry and
protected against corrosion, e.g. lightly oiled. Components
must not be exposed to chemical, thermal or mechanical
influences during storage.
