Assemby and Disassembly
5
5.1
Preparatory actions
Ensure that the load to be secured, all components to be fitted and the vehicle
are in perfect condition and that the lashing capacities of all components are
sufficient.
Check the documentation for completeness.
The installation and operating instructions for all components must be
observed.
5.2
Clevis-type Hook System
The fixed-size clevis-type hook system only
permits attachment of the nominal chain size that
suits the attachment component.
Assembly
If necessary, remove dowel pin and pin.
Place end of chain leg between the lateral
clevis elements.
Push pin from the side fully into the clevis
and through the last chain link of the leg.
Drive dowel pin 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).
The dowel pins must only be installed once.
Disassembly
Slacken the respective chain leg.
Drive dowel pin out using hammer and drift
punch.
Push pin out using a drift punch.
Remove the chain.
A set of drifts to TWN 0945 is available by Article No. Z03303.
5.3
Connecting links
In mounted lashing chains the chains are, for example, joined to other
components by means of connecting links. In this way, components can be
mounted the nominal size of which deviates from that of the chain.
Sizes and quality grades of chain and connecting link must always coincide!
Assembly
Install the connecting link halves in the components to be connected and join
both halves.
1. Position split sleeve as shown.
2. Push pin up to the split sleeve, align pin
bevels to suit split sleeve and drive the
pin in using a hammer.
3.Check to make sure split sleeve safely
embraces the pin centrally.
Disassembly
1. Use drift to drive pin out.
2. Remove the split sleeve.
3. Separate connecting link halves from the
component they joined.
A set of drifts to TWN 0945 is available by Article No. Z03303.
The split sleeves must only be installed once.
Make sure the component to be connected can move freely within the
connecting link halves they are placed in.
Usage

6.1
Normal Use
Plan and calculate load securing and lashing means of sufficient length and
capacity in good time before departure. The selection and number of lashing
means depends on the load to be secured, the type of load securing and the
circumstances on the vehicle. For calculation details see DIN EN 12195-1 or
corresponding VDI guidelines (e.g. VDI 2700). Also take partial discharges into
account.
The lashing chains are usually attached to the load and the lashing points
using their hooks on both sides. For this purpose, the hook mouth must
surround the respective fastening point so that the safety latch also closes
again. Take care not to twist the chain when attaching it.
Lifting means of a previous transport must not obstruct the load securing.
Lashing chains are usually equipped with a tensioning element. At the
beginning, the two spindles of the tensioning element must each be unscrewed
as far as the stop of the unscrewing safety device, so that an optimum
tensioning path is available.
Depending on the equipment, a chain leg can be shortened by means of a
shortening element so that the tensioning path of the tensioning element is
sufficient to tighten the entire lashing chain. When shortening, make sure that
the chain is not twisted and produces as little slack chain as possible.
The lashing chain is further shortened and tensioned by actuating the
tensioning element. The maximum hand force with one hand must not exceed
50 daN. The use of lever extensions is not permitted. The normal tension force
(S
TF
) specified on the tag is achieved with a manual force of 50 daN
The tensioning element must be secured against unintentional release, e.g. by
a safety chain. The safety chain is tight around the toggle to tie and fasten, so
that an unintentional loosening of the tensioner is prevented. For tensioners
with ratchets, the freewheel position or the fastening position must be set after
lashing.
Only dimensionally stable loads are suitable for tie-down lashing with lashing
chains. Note that lashing chains glide poorly over the load, especially at edges,
and the lashing forces within a chain leg are not evenly spread. Therefore,
when lashing down, the tensioning elements must be arranged alternately on
the left and right sides of the vehicle and suitable edge protectors must be
used.
If possible, the lashing chain should not be guided over edges. If this is
unavoidable, edge protectors must be used. Sharp edges can damage lashing
chains and cargo.
Make sure that the lever of the tensioning element does not project beyond the
outer contour of the vehicle and that the marking tag is not jammed or
damaged.
