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).
