1 Description and Intended Use
THIELE Special sling components are intended for the usage in chain sling
assemblies according to EN 818-4 for special transportation requirements.
These Mounting Instructions describes the safety use of following components:
THIELE Ringshackles TWN 0812 and TWN 1812 are fixed to chain leg ends
to be connected to other components.
THIELE Master Links with clevis TWN 0820 and TWN 1819 # are fixed to
chain leg ends to be connected to other components or to carry a hook.
A sling hook with clevis of the same size can be pulled through the notch to
provide a sling for a choke hitch.
THIELE Swivels TWN 0845 are intended to be used within a chain leg to
avoid harmful twisting. Turn back has to be done under un-load conditions.
THIELE Balancers TWN 0882 are intended to enable a smooth load
spreading within two chain legs.
THIELE Key HooksTWN 0892 are part of multi-leg chain sling assemblies
only intended to lift metal covering plates narrow to the floor.
THIELE components meet EG Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG requirements
and feature a safety factor of at least 4 based on the Working Load Limit
(WLL).
They are signed with the corresponding chain size, grade, manufacturers mark
(e.g. stamp ’H4’) and identification number.
THIELE components are designed to withstand 20,000 dynamic load changes
under maximum load conditions. In the event of higher loads (e.g. multi-
shift/automatic operation) the Working Load Limit must be reduced.
Components must exclusively be used
within the limits of their permissible Working Load Limit,
for permissible attachment methods and inclination angles,
within the temperature limits prescribed,
with suitable connecting links or attachment components,
by trained and authorized persons.
As a rule, components are not permitted for the transportation of
persons.
Ringshackles TWN 0812 and TWN 1812 as well as swivels TWN 0845 may be
used in lashing chain assemblies according to EN 12195.
An alternating use for lifting and lashing is not allowed.
2 Safety Notes
Risk of Injury!
Never walk or stay under lifted loads!
Make sure to use hoisting/attachment
means free from defects.
Operators, fitters, and maintenance personnel must in particular observe the
Operating Instructions of the machine built in, documentations DGUV V 1,
DGUV R 100-500 Chapter 2.8, DGUV I 209-013 and DGUV I 209-021
issued by the German Employers’ Liability Insurance Association, as well as
standard specifications DIN 685-5 and DIN EN 818-6.
In the Federal Republic of Germany, the Operational Safety Ordinance
(BetrSichV) has to be implemented and the Technical Rule for Industrial
Safety TRBS 1201, in particular Annex 1, Chapter 2 "Special regulations for
the use of working equipment for lifting loads" must be observed.#
Outside the Federal Republic of Germany the specific provisions issued
locally in the country where the items are used must also be observed.
The directions given in these Mounting Instructions and specified
documentations relating to safety, assembly, operation, inspection, and
maintenance must be made available to the respective persons.
Make sure these Mounting Instructions are available in a place near the
product during the time the equipment is used. Please contact the
manufacturer if replacements are needed. See chapter 10.#
When performing work make sure to wear your personal protective
equipment!
Improper assembly and use may cause personal injury and/or damage
to property.
Assembly and removal as well as inspection and maintenance must
exclusively be carried out by skilled and authorized persons.
Structural changes are impermissible (e.g. welding, bending).
Operators must carry out a visual inspection and, if necessary, a
functional test of the safety equipment before each use. #
Never put to use worn-out, bent or damaged components.
Do not overload the components.
Do not use force when mounting/positioning the attachment components.
Only lift loads that are freely movable and not attached or fastened.
Avoid bending loads to act on components.
Do not start lifting before you have made sure the load has been correctly
attached.
During lifting/hoisting make sure your hands or other body parts do not come
into contact with hoisting means. Only remove hoisting means manually (use
your hands).
Avoid impacts, e.g. due to abruptly lifting loads with chain in slack condition.
Avoid components to get caught under the load.
In the event of doubts about the use, inspection, maintenance or similar
things contact your safety officer or the manufacturer.
THIELE will not be responsible for damage caused through non-
observance of the instructions, rules, standards and notes indicated!
As regards quality grade 10 THIELE does not give its general approval to
the assembly of components stemming from different manufacturers!
Working under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly forbidden!
3 Commissioning
Prior to using the components for the first time make sure that
the components comply with the order and have not been damaged,
test certificate and Mounting Instructions are at hand,
markings correspond with what is specified in the documentation,
inspection deadlines and the qualified persons for examinations are
determined,#
visibility and functional testing are carried out and documented,#
the documentation is safely kept in an orderly manner.
Dispose of the packing in an environmentally compatible way according to
local rules.

5 Assembly and Removal
5.1 Clevis-type Hook System at Ringshackles TWN 0812, TWN 1812 and
Master Links TWN 0820 and TWN 1819#
Assembly
If necessary, remove dowel pin and pin.
Place end of chain leg (1) between the
lateral clevis elements.
Push pin (2) from the side fully into the
clevis and through the last chain link of
the leg.
Drive dowel pin (3) fully in (must not
project) to secure the pin. The slot must
face away from the pin.
Check whether the chain runs smoothly!
Only connect pins and attachment
components of identical quality grades.
Starting with Ø 13 mm the pins are marked
on the front end.
Disassembly
Slacken the respective chain leg (3).
Drive dowel pin (1) out using hammer
and ejector drift.
Push pin (2) out using a drift punch.
Remove the chain.
The dowel pins must only be installed once.
Suitable ejector drifts are available by Article No. Z03303.
5.2 Swivels TWN 0845

9 Inspections, Maintenance, Disposal
Inspections and maintenance must be arranged for by the Owner!
Inspection intervals shall be determined by the Owner!
Inspections must be carried out and documented by competent persons
regularly but at least once a year, or more frequently if the components are in
heavy-duty service. After three years at the latest they must additionally be
examined for cracks. A load test shall never be considered a substitute for this
examination.
The results of the inspection shall be entered into a register (DGUV I 209-062
or DGUV I 209-063) to be prepared at first use. The register will show
characteristic data of the components as well as identity details.
Immediately stop using components that show the following defects:
missing or illegible identification/marking,
deformation, elongation or fractures of chains or components,
cuts, notches, cracks, incipient cracks, pinching,
links heated beyond permissible limits,
severe corrosion,
limited hinging capability,
wear in excess of 10 %, e.g. in the receiving area of the connecting link
halves or of the pin diameter,
missing or damaged pin locks.
Inspection Service
THIELE offers inspection, maintenance and repair services performed by
trained and competent personnel.
Maintenance
Maintenance and repair work must only be performed by competent persons.
Minor notches and cracks may be eliminated by careful grinding observing the
maximum cross section reduction requirement of 10 % and avoid making more
severe cuts or scores.
All maintenance and repair activities are to be documented.
Disposal
All components and accessories of steel taken out of service are to be
scrapped in line with local regulations and provisions.
