1 Application and warning information
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting me-
ans as well as improper usage can lead
to physical injury and damage of property
while failing.
Inspect lifting means before each use ca-
refully!
• Keep all body parts like ngers, hands, arms, etc.
out of the hazardous area during the lifting operation.
• The VIP fool proof and the VIP-VC shackles must
only be used considering the DGUV 109-017,
and outside Germany acc. to the coun-try specic
requirements.
• Consider extreme circumstances or schock loading
when choosing the utilised product.
• Side loading is due to the design not allowed.
• At the VC-SCH the weld-on nut must not be re-
moved.
• No technical alterations must be implemented on
the VIP fool proof and the VIP-VC shackles.
• No people may stay in the danger zone.
• Damaged or worn VIP fool proof and VIP-VC
shackles must never be utilised.
2 Intended use
Foolproof VIP and VIP VC-shackles are high-strength
straight shackles within a range from 1.5 to 31.5 t
WLL.
They can be used as an end component for chain
slings or lugs. Side load ist not allowed.
The fool proof VIP and VIP VC-shackles must only
be used in the here described usage.
3 Installation and user information
3.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage:
When used in temperatures higher than 200°C
the WLL of the VIP foolproof and VIP-VC-shackles
must be reduced as follows:
• -40°C up to 200°C no reduction
• 200°C up to 300°C minus 10 %
• 300°C up to 400°C minus 25 %
• Temperatures above 400°C are prohibited!
• VIP foolproof and VIP-VC shackles must not be
used together with aggressive chemicals, acids
and vapours.
3.2 Hints for the assembly
• VIP chains can be connected to shackles either
with the VIP coupling or with an end link VA/VB.
• Please pay attention during selection and assembly
to the correct sizing.
• Screw shackle bolt proper into the eye of the
shackle and secure it as follows:
• VC-SCH: by assembly of cotter-pin
• VV-SCH: By punching in the securing sleeve.
Pay attention to the slash (see picture 1)!
The shackle bolt of the VV-SCH is pivot moun-
ted.
• To avoid single sided loading, washers on
both sides of the bolt are allowed to be used
(see picture 2).
The inside width must not be reduced by welded-in
washers, distance parts or bending of the legs. All
these damages are leading to adverse consequen-
ces of the shackle properties.
Common rule:
• Assemble only shackle components with H1-10
embossement.
• Pay attention to the correct sizing of the connecting
components.
• Use only original RUD spare parts.
3.3 Sequence of assembly
1 Insert connecting part into the shackle.
2 Screw shackle bolt in.
3 Assemble cotter-pin respectively securing sleeve.
4 Check nally the correct assembly (see chapter 4
Inspection / repair / disposal).
3.4 Hints for the usage
• Make sure before loading that the shackle bolt is
fully engaged. This is the case when the end of the
shackle bolt at the thread is in line with the eye of
the shackle and the bolt can be turned in the bus-
hing easy. When shackle is permanently or
more than once used, please secure bolt by using
a hammer to punch the roller pin.
• Control frequently and before each operation the
total lifting mean in regard of ongoing ability, strong
corrosion, wear, deformation etc. (see chapter 4
Inspection / repair / disposal).

VV-SCH / VC-SCH
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting me-
ans as well as improper usage can result
in serious physical injury and property
damage when load drops.
Inspect lifting means before each use
carefully!
• Applications where bolts are pivoting und possibly
turn loose (e.g. by the load or wire rope) are for
the usage of the VC-shackle prohibited.
• Assemble the VIP-foolproof and VIP-VC shackle
at the load in such a way that the shackle body
will be loaded in the longitudinal axle and that no
bending stress occurs.
HINT
According to EN 13889 a side pull angle ß
bigger than 7° is prohibited.
• Leave hazardous area when possible.
• Avoid frequent turning movements of the shackle
bolt VV-SCH.
• Watch always sappended loads.
• Read for all lifting means the RUD sling chain
Safety instructions.

4 Inspection / repair / disposal
4.1 Hints for periodical inspections
The operator must determine and specify the nature
and scope of the required tests as well as the periods
of repeating tests by means of a risk assessment (see
section 4.2 and 4.3).
The continuing suitability of the VIP fool proof and
VIP-VC shackles must be checked at least 1x year by
an expert. Depending on the application conditions,
e.g. when used frequently or if there is a higher level
of wear or corrosion, it may be necessary to carry
out inspections at intervals of less than a year. This
inspection is also absolutely necessary after damage
and special incidents.
The inspection cycles must be specied by the ope-
rator.

4VV-SCH / VC-SCH
Chart 1: Dimensioning Subject to technical alterations
RUD components are tested in accordance with DIN EN
1677, with a minimum of 20.000 load cycles at 1.5 x WLL.
Employers insurance association (German BG) re-
commends: At high dynamic loading with high load
cycle numbers (continuous operation), the bearing
stress acc. to load factor group 1Bm (M3 acc. DIN
EN 818-7) must be reduced.
Picture 5: VV-SCH Picture 6: VC-SCH
Especially endangered circumstances do include
the following o󰀨-shore usages: Lifting of people and
lifting of potentially dangerous loads for example liquid
metals, acids or nuclear material). In theses cases the
WLL must be adapt by the user.

4.2 Test criteria for the regular visual
inspection
by the user
• Completeness of the VIP shackle
• readable size and manufacturer sign
• mechanical damage like strong notches, especially
in areas where tensile stress occurs
• Function, damage and wear at the securing sleeve
pin, at the thread of the shackle pin and at the eye
of the VV-SCH shackle
• Damage and wear at the thread of the shackle pin
at the eye of the VC-shackle.
4.3 Additional test criteria for the
competent person / repair worker
• Reduction of cross section caused by wear
> 10 %, especially at the connection- and shackle pin.
• strong corrosion
• further checks may be required, depending on the
result of the risk assessment (e.g. testing for cracks
in load-bearing parts).
5 Hints for repairing
• Repairing must only be done by a competent per-
son which has the knowledge and technical skills.
• Use only original RUD spare parts and register any
made repairing in the lifting means le card of the
complete chain sling.
6 Disposal
Dispose worn out components / attachments or
packaging according to the local waste removal re-
quirements.
