3.2 Hints for the assembly
• VIP chains of the correct size can be directly as-
sembled fool-proof into the RUD-clevis connection.
• Make sure before loading that the shackle bolt is
fully engaged. This is the case when the end of
the shackle bolt at the thread is in line with the
eye of the shackle and the bolt can be turned in
the bushing easy.

punch the roller pin.
Common rule:
• Assemble only shackle components/connecting
bolts with H1-10 embossement.
• The sleeve pin to secure the load pin must be
assembled in such a way that the groove can be
seen from the outside.
• Use retaining pins only once.
• Use only original RUD spare parts.
