Before initial usage of the RUD weld-on lifting
point PowerPoint
®
, please read carefully the
safety instructions. Make sure that you have
understood all subjected matters. Non-obser-
vance can lead to serious personal injuries
and material damage and eliminates warranty.
1 Safety instructions
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged weld-on lifting
points PowerPoint
®
as well as improper use
can lead to injuries of persons and damage of
objects when load drops.
Please inspect all lifting points before each use.
• Remove all body parts (fingers, hands, arms, etc.) out
of the hazard area (danger of crushing or squeezing)
during the lifting process.
• RUD weld-on lifting points PowerPoint
®
must only be
used by instructed and competent persons considering
DGUV rules 100-500 (BGR 500) and outside Germany
noticing the country specific statutory regulations.
• Attention: Other combinations with non RUD com-
ponents and chains are dangerous! These are not
permitted and RUD will not accept any warranty.
• Disassembling of ball-bearing by the user is not allowed.
• The stated WLL on the lifting point must only be ex
-
ceeded in the vertical usage of the WPP/WPPH 5 t and
WPP/WPPH 8t acc. to table 5.
• Weld-on lifting points PowerPoint
®
must be rotatable in
the screwed tight status through 360 °.
• No technical alterations must be implemented on the
weld-on lifting points PowerPoint
®
.
• No people may stay in the danger zone.
• Jerky lifting (strong impacts) should be prevented.
• Always ensure a stable position of the load when lifting.
Swinging must be prevented.
• Damaged or worn weld-on lifting points PowerPoint
®
must never be utilised.
2 Intended use of PowerPoint
®
• Lifting points must only be used for lifting and manipu
-
lating of loads according to the stated inclination angles
and the total weight of the load. Turning and flipping of
loads will be allowed due to the installed ball bearing
(with the WPP and VWBS-KA). But these lifting points
must not be used for a permanent turning action under
load.
• RUD weld-on lifting PowerPoint
®
must only be used in
the hereby described operation purpose.

HINT
Combinations of eye connection parts and
chains, which are not specified by RUD
are prohibited. For changes or combina-
tions of not specified parts, RUD Ketten
will not take responsibility and liability.
With the variants WPPH-KA-28 and VWBS-
KA-28, only the direct chain connection is
possible (see table 6, page 7).
4 Assembly- and instruction manual
4.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage:
The use in high temperatures is not recommend due
to the grease in the ball- bearing, if you need it yet,
you must reduce the weight of load as follows:
-40° up to 200°C: no reduction
200° up to 300°C: minus 10 % (392°F up to 572°F)
300° up to 400°C: minus 25 % (572°F up to 752°F)
Temperatures exceeding 400°C are prohibited!
• RUD weld-on lifting points must not be used with ag-
gressive chemicals such as acids, alkaline solutions
and their vapours.
• The special pink-powder coating of the components
changed permanently the colouring, if the
use was in
high temperatures. The colour deep black signals a use
over 400°C.
HINT
After use over 400°C (chain is coloures deep
black) is a continuing use not allowed.
The quality of the chain is not guaranteed.
• Please mark mounting position of lifting point with a
coloured contrast paint for better visibility.
• If the lifting points are used exclusively for lashing
the value of the working load limit can be doubled:
LC = 2 x WLL
HINT
If the lifting point is/was used as a lashing point,
with a force higher than the WLL, it must not
be used as a lifting point afterwards.
If the lifting point is/was used as a lashing
point, up to the WLL only, it can still be used
afterwards as a lifting point.
