3 Instructions for assembly and use
3.1 General information
• Suitability for use at specific temperatures:
• OPTILASH-FIX:
When used at higher temperatures, the WLL
must be reduced by the following factors:
• -40°C to 200°C: no reduction
• 200°C to 300°C: minus 10 %
• 300°C to 400°C: minus 25 %
• Temperatures over 400°C are not
permissible!
• OPTILASH-CLICK:
• -40°C to 80°C: no reduction
• Temperatures over 80°C are not
permissible (failure of the springs)!
• RUD OPTILASH must not be allowed to come into
contact with aggressive chemicals, acids and their
vapours.
• Clearly identify the attachment place for the lashing
points by means of contrasting colour markings.
• RUD OPTILASH are marked on the attachment
ring with the permissible lashing capacity “LC” in
daN.
• Determine the necessary permissible lashing
capacity of the individual lashing point in accord-
ance with EN 12195-1 “Load restraining on road
vehicles - Calculation of securing forces” and VDI
2700 “Load restraining on road vehicles”.
NOTE
RUD OPTILASH is marked on the hooking
ring with the permissible lashing capacity
“LC” in daN.
3.2 Information about assembly
• Design the attachment point so that the exerted
forces can be absorbed by the base material with-
out deformation.

• Assembly alignment:
The RUD OPTILASH must be mounted properly
(Fig. 3).

(RUD and LC
lettering face away
from the load)
Fig. 4: Alignment of the
lashing ring CORRECT!
Fig. 5: Alignment of the

Lashing ring mounted
laterally inverted!
• Determine the number and layout of the lashing
points on the vehicles in accordance with EN
12640 or EN 75410 (for RoRo tra󰀩c in accord-
ance with EN 29367), in as far as the design and
equipment of the vehicles are not designed for
transporting special goods with special require-
ments on load restraint.
NOTE
The lashing points should be located as far
towards the outside as possible to make
maximum use of the width of the cargo
area and they must not project over the
cargo area level when at rest.
• Select the position of the lashing points on the
goods to be restrained (load) in such a way that
impermissible loads, such as twisting or turning of
the load, can be avoided.
• Subsequently check the proper mounting (see
section 4 Inspection / repair).
CAUTION
Lashing points must never be used for
lifting loads!
3.2.1 Mounting the lashing ring OPTILASH-FIX
and OPTILASH-CLICK in bore holes
• Note the minimum cross-sections of the connection
plates (cf. Fig. 6).
NOTE
If the lashing ring OPTILASH-CLICK is to
be used as a spare part, the dimension
17.5 mm (!) must always be kept on one
plane. Otherwise the OPTILASH-CLICK
cannot be retrotted to the construction (cf.
section 3.2.3).
!
!
!
Fig. 6: Minimum cross-sections for installation (bore
hole)
• The connection plate must have a minimum quality
of S355JR [1.0045].
• Check the swivelling ability after welding the lashing
ring in place.
• The axial clearance should not exceed 4.5 mm.
• Do not carry out welding work on the tempered
lashing ring.
• The OPTILASH-FIX lashing ring must not be hot
galvanised or zinc plated after being welded in
place (risk of hydrogen embrittlement).
NOTE
If the vehicle frame is to be hot galvanised
or zinc plated, use the OPTILASH-CLICK
lashing ring.

3.2.2 Mounting the lashing ring OPTILASH-FIX
and OPTILASH-CLICK into a link structure
• Note the minimum cross-sections of the connection
plates (cf. Fig. 7).
NOTE
If the lashing ring OPTILASH-CLICK is to
be used as a spare part, the dimension
17.5 mm (!) must always be kept on one
plane. Otherwise the OPTILASH-CLICK
cannot be retrotted to the construction (cf.
section 3.2.3).

• Do not carry out welding work on the tempered
lashing ring.
• The OPTILASH-FIX lashing ring must not be hot
galvanised / zinc plated after being welded in place
(risk of hydrogen embrittlement).
NOTE
If the vehicle frame is to be hot galvanised /
zinc plated, use the OPTILASH-CLICK
lashing ring.
3.2.3 Mounting the lashing ring OPTILASH-
CLICK as a spare part (conditions)
If the OPTILASH-CLICK is to be installed and re-
moved as a spare part, the dimension 17.5 mm must
be kept on one plane. The OPTILASH-CLICK lashing
ring can be mounted and removed on this plane.
NOTE
The dimension 17.5 mm (!) must always
be kept on one plane. Otherwise the
OPTILASH-CLICK cannot be retrotted to
the construction.
During mounting proceed as follows:

The design of the link can vary depending
on the manufacturer/construction.
The movement is the same both with the OPTILASH-
FIX and with the OPTILASH-CLICK lashing ring:

3.3 Information about use
• Inspect the entire lashing ring/lashing point (for
signs of heavy corrosion, wear, deformation) regu-
larly before use (e.g. by the person attaching the
load). See section 4 Inspection / repair.
CAUTION
Incorrectly mounted or damaged lashing
equipment and improper use can lead to
injuries and damage to objects after a fall.
Check all lashing equipment carefully every
time before use.
• The lashing equipment must be freely movable in
the RUD OPTILASH. When attaching and removing
the lashing equipment (lashing chain) no crushing,
shearing, catching or impact points may be created.
Prevent any damage to the lashing equipment
caused by sharp edges.
• Carefully check the wear markings of the lashing
point (see Fig. 19):

4 Inspection / repair
4.1 Notes on regular inspection
The operator must determine and specify the nature
and scope of the required inspections as well as the
terms of periodic inspections by means of a risk as-
sessment (see sections 4.2 and 4.3).
The continuous suitability of the lifting equipment 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 inspec-
tions at intervals of less than a year. This inspection is
also absolutely necessary after damage and special
incidents.
4.2 Test criteria for the regular visual
inspection by the user
• Lashing point is complete
• Complete, legible lashing capacity information and
manufacturer symbol
• Deformation on supporting parts such as basic
housing and lashing ring
• Mechanical damage such as large notches, in
particular in areas subject to tensile loads.
4.3 Additional test criteria for the expert /
repairer:
• Cross-section changes due to wear > 10 % (see
wear markings)
• Heavy corrosion (pitting corrosion)
• Mobility of the bolt on the OPTILASH-CLICK.
Remove the OPTILASH-CLICK lashing ring from
its seat and check the mobility of the bolt (press
the bolt in completely and then let it go. The bolt
must return to its nal position automatically). If
necessary, oil the bolt with penetration oil.
• Additional inspections may be necessary, depend-
ing on the result of the risk assessment (e.g. check
for cracks in load-bearing parts).
