Before initial usage of the VIP Connecting
link, please read carefully the safety in-
structions. Make sure that you understand
all subjected matters. Nonobservance can
lead to serious personal injuries and mate-
rial damage and eliminates warranty.
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 ob-
jects when load drops down. Please inspect
all lifting and lashing means before each use.
• Remove all body parts (ngers, hands, arms, etc.) out
of the hazard area (danger of crushing or squeezing)
during the lifting process resp. for the transport of loads.
• VIP connecting links must be used only by authorised
and trained people in adherence to BGR/DGUV
regulations 100-500 (BGR 500), Chapter 2.8 and,
outside Germany, when observing the relevant specic
national regulations.
• In each half of the connecting link only one load
bearing strand or a corresponding component must
be attached.
• No technical alterations must be implemented on
the VIP connecting links.
• No people may stay in the danger zone.
• Jerky lifting (strong impacts) should be prevented.
• Please be also aware of extreme circumstances or
shock loads when selecting the used Connecting
link or the components.
• Always ensure a stable position of the load when
lifting. Swinging must be prevented.
• Damaged or worn VIP connecting links must never
be utilised.
2 Intended use
VIP connecting links are designed to connect com-po-
nents with an eye to sling chains or wire rope ttings.
They must only be used in the hereby described ope-
ration purpose for lifting resp. for the transport of loads
and as lashing component in combination with VIP
lashing chains.
3 Assembly- and instruction manual
3.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage:
When using the VIP-Connecting links at tempe-
ratures beyond 200°C the permissible WLL of the
VIP-Connecting links has to be reduced as follows:
- -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!
The temperature characteristics of the whole sling
assembly depends in the properties of the sling
components. F.e. polyester round slings, and other
components with an eye.
• VIP-Connecting links must not be used with aggres-
sive chemicals such as acids, alkaline solutions
and their vapours.
3.2 Hints for the assembly
Please observe the following during the assembly
of the VVS: At the max. an eye with a diameter of a
2-leg-VIP Masterlink can be assembled.
ATTENTION
Overloading or wrong loading of the connec-
ting link can lead to fall of load. Doing this
serious injuries or property damage can occur.
In each half of the connecting link only one
load bearing strand or a corresponding
component must be attached.

HINT
Lifting points, shakles and plate clamps can
be attached into the halves of the connec-
ting link.
Basically essential:

VIP-
control
link VCG
• Observe in any case during assem-
bly the correct dimensioning of the
connecting parts.
• Permitted loading of the complete
compound depends on the single
component with the lowest working
load limit.
• Only VVS-connecting link components
with H1-10 stamping must be assem-
bled
• Use only original RUD spare parts.
• The VIP control link VCG can be
used as an overload indicator when
assembled with a VIP 3-link piece (bypass) as a
middle part between the two halves of the connec-
tor (pic. 3).
• Check nally the correct assembly (see chapter
4 Inspection / repair).

3.3 Sequence of assembly
In the following description the assembly of the con-
necting link will be described exemplarily with the
example of a masterlink and an VIP chain.
1. Install last chain link into the single
bow eye (Pic. 4).
In this case there is no addi-
tional connector necessary.
HINT
At the beginning of the
bow rounding, chain link
can be turned by 90°
within the bow (Pic. 5).
Pic. 5 Pic. 6
2. Position chain strand to the bottom of the bow part
(Pic. 6).
3. Put into the second bow part a desired connecting
part, f.e. a masterlink (Pic. 7).
Pic. 7 Pic. 8 / 9 Pic. 10
4. Assemble both bow parts together in such a way
that components are aligned (Pic. 8).
5. Install pin into the bore of the eye (Pic. 9). Both
bow parts are now connected with each other.
6. Secure the assembled connecting link as follows
(Pic. 10):
- Position both securing pins/sleeve pins in
such a way, that the slot faces the outside.
- Knock both sleeve pins in with a hammer.
7. Finally Check the correct assembly (see chapter
4 Inspection / repair).
3.4 User instructions
• Check before each loading of the connecting link,
that connecting pin is installed correct in the bow
eye. Secure pin by hammering the sleeve pins in.
• Make sure that the load force happens in the straight
leg without being twisted, fold-over or kinked.
• Always regularly observe the appearance of the
whole lifting mean (e.g. by the person responsible
für attachment) before using it (strong corrosion,
wear, cracks on load-bearing parts, deformations).
Refer to chapter 4 Inspection / repair.
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting and
lashing means as well as improper use can
lead to injuries of persons and damage of ob-
jects when load drops down. Please inspect
all lifting and lashing means before each use.
• RUD components are designed according to DIN
EN 818 and DIN EN 1677 for a dynamic load of
20,000 load cycles.
• Keep in mind that several load cycles can
occur with a lifting procedure.
• Keep in mind that, due to the high dynamic stress
with high numbers of load cycles, that there is a
danger that the product will be damaged
• The BG/DGUV recommends: For higher dynamic
loading with a high number of load cycles (contin-
uous operation), the working load stress must be
reduced according to the driving mechanism group
1Bm (M3 in accordance with DIN EN 818-7). Use
a lifting mean with a higher working load limit.
• Leave hazardous area when possible.
• Watch always attached loads.
• Read for all lifting means the RUD sling chain Sa-
fety instructions for RUD lifting means.
4 Inspection / repair
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
sections 4.2 and 4.3).
The continuing suitability of the lifting mean must be
checked at least 1x year by an expert.
Depending on the usage conditions, f.e. frequent usage,
increased wear or corrosion, it might be necessary to
check in shorter periods than one year. The inspection
has also to be carried out after accidents and special
incidents. The operator must specify the test cycles.
4.2 Test criteria for the regular visual inspection
by the user
• Completeness of the VIP Connecting link
• Complete readable size and manufacturer sign
• Deformations on load-bearing parts
• Mechanical damage like strong notches, especially
in areas where tensile stress occurs
4.3 Additional test criteria for the
competent person / repair worker
• Damaging and reduction of cross section caused
by wear > 10 %, especially at connecting pins and
at the eyes of the VVS bows.
• Strong corrosion
• further checks may be required, depending on the
result of the risk assessment (e.g. testing for cracks
in load-bearing parts).

4VVS/RS-VVS
5 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 (spare part set
consists of 1x bolt and 2 pins, see chart 1 and pic.
13) 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.
