B09117-A 1 EN-050117 Mounting Instructions Original in compliance with 2006/42/EG Connecting links TWN 1320 and TWN 1920 Grades 8 and 10/XL Manufacturer: THIELE GmbH & Co. KG Tel: +49 (0) 2371 / 947 - 0 58640 Iserlohn www.thiele.de 1 Beschreibung und bestimmungsgemäße Verwendung Connecting links are intended for use with sling chain assemblies for the attachment and lifting of loads according EN 818-4 or for lashing chains according EN 12195-3. They are exclusively meant to connect individual chain sections/legs to each other or to intermediate links or other attachment elements with eyelets and must only be arranged in one load-carrying chain section. A connecting link consists of two symmetrical halves attached to each other by means of a secured pin. The link is marked with nominal chain size and quality grade, manufacturer’s symbol and traceability code. THIELE connecting links meet EG Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG requirements and feature a safety factor of at least 4 based on Working Load Limit (WLL). The connecting links 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, magnetic spreaders) the Working Load Limit (WLL) must be reduced before the links are put to use. Connecting links 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,  by trained and authorized persons. Any alternating use for lifting and lashing purposes is impermissible! Connecting links are as a rule not permitted for the transportation of persons. 2 Safety Notes Risk of Injury! Never walk or stay under lifted loads! Make sure to use connecting links free from defects.  Operators, fitters, and maintenance personnel must especially observe the Operating Instructions of the sling chain assembly into which the connecting links are to be installed. They have to observe the documentations DGUV V 1, DGUV R 100-500 Chapter 2.8, DGUV R 109-004, DGUV I 209-013 and DGUV I 209-021 issued by the German Employer’s Liability Association as well as standard specifications DIN 685-5 and DIN EN 818-6.  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.  Outside the Federal Republic of Germany the specific provisions issued locally in the country where the items are used must also be observed.  Make sure these Mounting Instructions are available in a place nearby the product during the time the equipment is used. Please contact the manufacturer if replacements are needed.  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 disassembly as well as inspection and maintenance must exclusively be carried out by skilled and authorized persons.  Structural changes are impermissible (e.g. welding, bending).  Visually inspect the equipment prior to each use.  Never use worn-out, bent or otherwise damaged connecting links.  Never expose connecting links to loads exceeding the specified Working Load Limit.  When used as locking link in endless chains of identical nominal size the Working Load Limit must be reduced by 20%.  Do not use force when mounting/positioning the attachment components.  Avoid sharp edges.  Do not twist or knot the chains together.  In the event of doubts about use, inspection, maintenance or similar things contact your safety officer or the manufacturer.  Usage without split sleeves is not allowed. Split sleeve do not stay in contact to other parts. THIELE will not be responsible for damage caused through non- observance of the instructions, rules, standards and notes indicated! As regards quality grade 10/XL 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 installation instructions have been provided,  markings correspond with what is indicated in the documentation,  documentations are safely kept in an orderly manner. Dispose of the packing in an environmentally compatible way according to local rules. 4 Technical Data Table includes only series and not customized editions.

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. Check the parts to be connected are able to move freely within the connector halves. Disassembly 1. Use drift to drive the pin out. 2. Remove the split sleeve. 3. Separate connecting link halves from the components they joined. A set of drifts to TWN 0945 is available by Article No. Z03303. The split sleeves must only be installed once. 6 Storage Connecting links must be stored in dry spaces at temperatures ranging between 0 and +40 °C.
