Please read user instruction carefully
before initial operation of VIP clevis shack-
les.
Make sure to understand all volumes.
Non-observance of this user`s manual can
lead to serious physical injury and property
damage and eliminates warranty.
In doubt or in misconception please note
that the German version of this document
is decisive.
This user instruction is valid in addition
to the safety instructions for RUD Sling
chains, RUD Ref. No. 7101649.
1 Application and warning information
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting
means as well as improper usage can lead
to physical injury and damage of property
while failing.
Inspect lifting means before each use
carefully!
• Consider extreme circumstances or schock loading
when choosing the utilised product.
• Side loading is due to the design not allowed.
• VIP clevis shackles must only be used considering
the BGR 500 standard, chapter 2.8 (DGUV rules
100-500), and outside Germany acc. to the coun-
try specic requirements.
2 Intended use
VIP clevis shackles must only be used for the manuf-
acturing / assembly of lifting means in combination
with VIP chains and VIP components.
They can be used as an end component for chain
slings or lugs. Side loading is not al-lowed.
VIP clevis 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 clevis shackles must be reduced
as follows:
- -40°C up to 200°C no reduction
- 200° up to 300°C minus 10 %
- 300° up to 400°C minus 25 %
- Temperatures above 400°C are prohibited!
• VIP clevis shackles must not be used together with
aggressive chemicals, acids and vapours.
3.2 Hints for the assembly
• VIP chains of the correct size can be directly as-
sembled fool-proof into the RUD-clevis connection.
• 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 bushing easy.
• When shackle is permanently or more than once
used, please secure bolt by using a hammer to
punch the roller pin.
Common rule:
• Assemble only shackle components/connecting
bolts with H1-10 embossement.
• The sleeve pin to secure the load pin must be
assembled in such a way that the groove can be
seen from the outside.
• Use retaining pins only once.
• Use only original RUD spare parts.
• Check nally the correct assembly (see chapter 4
Inspection criteria).

3.3 Hints for the usage
• Control frequently and before each operation the
total lifting mean in regard of ongoing ability, strong
corrosion, wear, deformation etc. (see chapter 4
Inspection criteria).
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting
means as well as improper usage can re-
sult in serious physical injury and property
damage when load drops.
Inspect lifting means before each use
carefully!
• Assemble the VIP clevis 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..
• To avoid one-sided loading of the shackle, distance
washers at both sides of the bolt are allowed to be
used (see picture 2)
• Alternatively a shackle with a smaller inside width
can be used also. The inside width must not be
reduced by using weld-in washers, distance parts
or bending of the shackle because this has a ne-
gative impact to the mechanical properties of the
shackle.
• Leave hazardous area when possible.
• Watch always sappended loads.
• Read for all lifting means the RUD sling chain Sa-
fety instructions.

3.4 Hints for the regularly testing
Check by a experienced competent person in time
periods depending on the frequency at least 1x per
year, the ongoing usage of the lifting means (see
chapter 4 Inspection criteria).
Depending on the conditions of use, e.g. increased
wear or corrosion, it might be necessary that inspec-
tions must to be made in shorter time intervals than
one year.
4 Inspection criteria
Check and control the following points before each
initial operation, in frequent time intervals, after as-
sembly and special incidents:
• completeness of the VIP-Gabelkopfschäkels
• 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-GSCH shackle
• Reduction of cross section caused by wear
> 10 %, especially at the connection pin, the
shackle pin and at the eye of the shackle.
• Cracks or other damage
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.
Chart 1: Dimensioning Subject to technical
RUD components are designed acc. to DIN EN 818
and 1677 for a dynamical loading of 20.000 load
cycles. Employers insurance association (German
BG) recommends: At high dynamic loading with high
load cycle numbers (continuous operation), the bea-
ring stress acc. to load factor group 1Bm (M3 acc.
DIN En 818-7) must be reduced.
