User Instructions - Part 2
3.4 Usage (Inclination angle β)
• Pay attention that the inclination angle ß will not exceed
45° (90° internal sling angle)
refer pic 13 and 14
.
• Ensure the load is transferred without twists or kinks in the
chains or components.
• Before each use, the complete ICE-Balancer assembly,
including all components shall be throughly inspected (see
section 4 inspection criteria). Refer to AS 3775.2 for care
and use.
ATTENTION: Please inspect all components prior to
use. Damaged, incorrect assembly or improper use may
result in serious injuries and/or material damage.

3.4 Regular inspection
An annual inspection or sooner if conditions dictate should
be carried out by a competent person examining the
continued suitability. Also, inspect after damage and special
occurrences.
4 Inspection criteria
Check and control the following points before each initial
operation, in periodical periods after the assembly and after
special incidents:
• The ICE-Balancer should be complete
• Deformation of component parts
•
Complete, readable WLL statements as well as
manufacturers identification
• Mechanical damage, such as strong notches, particulary in
high stress areas
• Reduction of cross-section due to wear >10 %
• Evidence of corrosion (pitting)
• Evidence of cracks
5 Repairing
• Repair can only be carried out by the manufacturer or by
competent person.
• Only RUD original spare parts must be used and all
repairing and overhauling operations must be documented
in the chain card file (of the complete lifting mean) or the
RFID-System
®
.
RUD VIP and ICE chains and components are designed for
a dynamic load of 20.000 cycles according to DIN EN 818
and 1677 standard. The German Employer´s insurance
Association (BG) recommends:
• When high dynamic stress combines with high number
of load cycles, the bearing stress must be reduced to
Mechanism group 1Bm (M3 acc. to EN 818-7).
