1 Safety instructions
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting and
lashing means as well as improper use can
lead to injuries of persons and damage of
objects when load drops.
Please inspect all lifting points before each
use.
• Please be also aware of extreme circumstances or
shock loads when selecting the used self-locking
clevis hook.
• RUD Self-locking clevis hook must only be used
by instructed and competent persons considering
BGR 500 / DGUV 100-500 and outside Germany
noticing the country specic statutory regulations.
2 Intended use
The described self-locking clevis hook must only be
used for lifting of loads when locked.
Please note that the self-locking clevis hook must
align into the pull direction. Hook must not be bent.
The bucket self-locking clevis hook IMAGH-10/13 and
VMAGH(S)-13 are designed for lifting and transpor-
tation of buckets acc. DIN 30720-1 and DIN 30720-2.
The RUD self-locking clevis hook must only be used
with RUD chains.
RUD self-locking clevis hooks must only be used in the
hereby described operation purpose for lifting resp. for
the transport of loads (see chapter 4 Missuse).
3 Assembly- and instruction manual
3.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage of ICE-compo-
nents (IAGH/IMAGH):
When using the ICE Clevis self-locking hook at
temperatures beyond 200°C the permissible WLL
of the ICE self-locking clevis hooks has to be
reduced:
-60°C up to 200°C no reduction
200°C up to 250°C minus 10 %
250°C up to 300°C minus 40 %
Temperatures exceeding 300°C are prohibited!
• Capability of temperature usage of VIP-compon-
ents (VAGH(S)/VMAGH(S)):
When using the VIP self-locking clevis hooks at
temperatures beyond 200°C the permissible WLL
has to be reduced:
-40°C up to 200°C no reduction
200°C up to 300°C minus 10 %
300°C up to 380°C minus 40 %
Temperatures exceeding 380°C are prohibited!
• RUD VIP self-locking clevis hooks must not be used
with aggressive chemicals such as acids, alkaline
so-lutions and their vapours.
• The WLL of components are depending on the
following variables:
- Quality grade of component (picture 1-2)
- Nominal size of component
- in the present case
The permissible WLL should be taken out of the
according ICE- and VIP user´s instruction (or al-
ternatively from the RUD website www.rud.com).
3.2 Hints for the assembly
Please observe correct assignment of chain and com-
ponent when assembling the self-locking clevis hook.
The quality grade/nominal size or the component can
be identied by the stamping at component/bolt/chain
resp. at the colour.
ATTENTION
Observe in any case the quality grade
assignment at the components
- Assemble with ICE components
(IAGH, IMAGH) only G-pins with a D1-
12 stamping
- Assemble with VIP components
(VAGH(S), MAGH(S)) only G-pins with
a H1-10 stamping
Mixing of system components from die-
rent quality grades is not allowed.

Basically essential:
• Assemble slotted spring pin for the securing of the
G-pin in the clevis in such a way that the slot can
be seen resp. faces to the outside
• RUD G-pins are fool-proof:
- For the ICE components use only the oval
ICE-G-pin (picture 1)
- For the VIP components use only the round VIP
G-pin (picture 2)
• The G-pin must be assembled captive with the
slotted pin and with the step hole in the component
(picture 4)
• Use slotted pin only once!
• Use only original RUD spare parts.
• Check nally the correct assembly (see chapter 5
Inspection criteria).

Hints fort he assembly at dump trucks
The self-locking clevis hook for dump trucks
IMAGH-10/13 and VMAGH(S)-13 are designed for
the lifting and transportation of buckets acc. to DIN
30720-1 and DIN 30720-2.
Pic 5: Usage of buckets
ATTENTION
Body parts (ngers, hands, arms etc.) in-
side the hook can lead to pinch injuries at
attaching and lifting of load
Remove limbs from functional range of
self-locking clevis hook when lifting loads.
The inside contour is designed to avoid unintentional
bucket o󰀨-hook acc. to DIN 30720-1 and DIN 30720-2.
For this kind of securing the hook must be according
to picture 6 assembled and locked at the bucket pin.
Pic 6: Component

When side load occurs the hook must be able to align
itself in the pulling direction (picture 7).

3.3 General user information
• Check before each usage of the self-locking clevis
hooks that the securing of the G-pin is in correct
position.
• Observe pivoting function of upper part of the auto-
matic hook before each loading. Closing of the latch
must be possible and the locking lever must engage,
resp. lock in (see chapter 5 Inspection criteria, last
section).
HINT
Regularly lubrication protects the Automatic-
Clevis-Hook also from corrosion (see chapter
5 Inspection criteria, last section).
• Make sure that the load force happens in the
straight leg without being twisted, fold-over or
kinked.
• Control frequently and before each operation the
total lifting/lashing mean in regard of ongoing abi-
lity, strong corrosion, wear, deformation etc. (see
chapter 5 Inspection criteria).
WARNING
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting- and
lashing means as well as improper usage
can lead to physical injury and damage of
property when load falls.
Inspect lifting means before each use
carefully!
• Please check carefully the wear indicator markings
of the Self-locking clevis hook (see picture 8):
Pic. 8: Wear indicators
• Leave hazardous area when possible.
• Watch always attached loads.
• Read for all lifting/lashing means the RUD sling
chain Safety instructions for RUD lifting means
resp. the relevant WLL (ICE quality grade 120 and
VIP quality grade 100).
3.4 Usage of the self-locking clevis hook
ATTENTION
Body parts (fingers, hands, arms etc.)
inside the hook can lead to pinch injuries
at attaching and lifting of load
Remove limbs from functional range of
self-locking clevis hook when lifting loads.
1. Attach load into the self-locking clevis hook.
2. Press upper part (1) of the hook down until it snaps
into place.
The sel-locking clevis hook is now locked. The
locking lever (2) is in the upright direction.
Pic. 9: self-locking Pic. 10: self-locking

3. To open the self-locking clevis hook press locking
lever (2) down. The upper part oft he self-locking
clevis hook (1) can be opened again.

self-locking clevis hook
3.5 Hints for the periodically inspection
Check by a competent person in periods, which are
determined by usage but at least 1x year, the con-
tinuous appropriateness of the lifting means (see
chapter 5 Inspection criteria).
Depending on the working conditions, f.e. when of-
ten used, or if increased wear or corrosion occurs,
inspections could be necessary in shorter periods
than one year.
4 Missuse
The following practises of the Automatic Clevis Hook
are not permissable and have to be forbidden in any
case!
WARNING
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting- and
lashing means as well as improper usage
can lead to physical injury and damage of
property when load falls.
Inspect lifting means before each use

5 Inspection criteria
Check and control the following points before each
initial operation, in periodical periods after the assem-
bly and after special incidents:
• Completeness of the self-locking clevis hook
• Readable size and manufacturer sign
• Mechanical damage like strong notches, especially
in areas where tensile stress
occurs
• Widening of the mouth must
not exceed by more than 10 %
of the nominal dimension (see
embossed measurement Fmax
at the hook)
• Cracks or other damage, espe-
cially existing notches at the bail of the hook
• Deformation of component
• It must be guaranteed that locking lever is able to
be released
• Distance between top and bottom of hook (acc. to
DIN EN 1677-3):
No. WLL max.
(=Nominal size) distance
6 up to 10 1.2 - 3.15 t 1 mm
11 up to 14 4.00 - 6.00 t 1.5 mm
16 up to 18 8.00 - 10.00 t 2.0 mm
19 up to 26 11.20 - 21.20 t 3.0 mm
• Function control of the locking mechanism:
If the hook resp. the latch closes only sluggish,
lubricate the joint (uncoated areas) with spray oil.
Then open and close the the
latch multiple times to spread
out the oil on the inside of the
joint. Locking of the latch must
be possible in a way that the
locking mechanism engages
properly.
Make sure that....

HINT
The permissible WLL should be taken out of the according ICE- and VIP
user´s instruction (or alternatively from the RUD website www.rud.com)
VIP ICE
RUD components are tested in accordance with DIN
EN 1677, with a minimum of 20.000 load cycles at
1.5 x WLL.
At high dynamical loads with high number of load
cycles the bearing stress must be reduced acc. to
FEM Group 1Bm (M3 acc. To DIN EN 818-7)
6 Hints for repairing
• Repairings must only be carried out by competent
persons, which can show that they have the there-
for necessary skills.
• Only RUD original spare parts must be used and
all repairing and overhauling operations must be
documented in the chain card le (of the complete
lifting mean) or use the AYE-D.NET-System.
