1 Safety notesCAUTIONIf RUD ICE STAR CLAMPS are mounted incorrectly, not closed or used improperly, it may result in physical injury and material damage in the event of a fall. Always check ICE STAR CLAMPS carefully prior to use.

• RUD ICE STAR CLAMPS may only be used by authorised and trained persons in compliance with BGR 500, Section 2.8 (DGUV regulations 100-500). Outside of Germany, the relevant specific national regulations must be observed.

• The following details must be correct: - Weight of the load to be lifted - Metal hardness of the load to be lifted - Load-bearing capacity (shown on part) - Rim width (shown on part)

Always check each of these points prior to use!• The correct number of ICE STAR CLAMPS must

be used depending on application and load. Please also note the centre of gravity of the load.

• Loads may only be used/lifted using correctly locked ICE STAR CLAMPS.

• ICE STAR CLAMPS may not be used to lift/trans-port persons.

• Only functioning, maintained and complete ICE STAR CLAMPS may be used (see Section 3 “In-spection and check”). Always check this prior to use.

• ICE STAR CLAMPS may never be ground, welded or altered in any other way.

• Note the conditions of use of the ICE STAR CLAMPS (see Section 4 “Conditions of use –ICE STAR CLAMPS”)

• ICE STAR CLAMPS may only be used under normal atmospheric conditions. Contact your RUD dealer if you wish to use them in an environment that is chemical, saline, acidic or explosive.

• No more than one steel sheet may be lifted vertically.

• ICE STAR CLAMPS may only be locked or un-locked when the load is on the ground.

• When turning, ensure that the load remains on the ground and is not lifted.

• Do not hang ICE STAR CLAMPS directly on the crane hook. Use a flexible connection between the crane hook and retaining ring.

• The load may not come into contact with surround-ing obstacles during lifting.

2 Proper use ICE STAR CLAMPS are designed for lifting, turning and vertical transport of steel sheets.ICE STAR CLAMPS may only be used for the pur-poses described here (vertical lifting).ICE STAR CLAMPS may only be used for the load-bearing capacities described here.ICE STAR CLAMPS may only be used to lift, transport etc. balanced loads. The minimum load must be 10 % of the designated load-bearing capacity of the ICE STAR CLAMPS (see DIN EN 13155). Otherwise the load may be uninten-tionally released.The following conditions apply to use of ICE STAR CLAMPS:• Surface hardness:

ICE STAR CLAMPS may only be used to lift steel up to a sheet surface hardness of 363 HV10 (≈ 341 HB / 37 RC). For other hardnesses, please contact your RUD dealer.

3ICE STAR CLAMPS

• Temperature range: ICE STAR CLAMPS may be used within the fol-lowing temperature range:

-20°C (0°F) to +100°C (212°F) For other temperature ranges, please contact your RUD dealer.

The sheet thickness may not exceed the rim width of the ICE STAR CLAMPS used (see Tables 6 to 10).ICE STAR CLAMPS may not be placed on sloping or conically shaped surfaces. If you do intend to use the clamps in such instances, contact your RUD dealer before doing so.Leave the immediate hazard zone. Suspended load may not be lifted over persons.Always supervise suspended loads.

3 Inspection and check

3.1 Inspection prior to every useAlways note and check the following points before use, at regular intervals, after mounting and after exceptional incidents:• The identification plate has to be available and

readable (details as shown on sticker on the cover of the instructions).

• Check the gripping surfaces of the ICE STAR CLAMPS for wear-and-tear or damage. The grip-ping surfaces of the ICE STAR CLAMPS have to be sharp and free of grease, oil and dirt.

• In the event of the following damage, the ICE STAR CLAMPS have to be taken out of operation and replaced:

- 50 % one tooth of a tooth segment - 50 % of a ring of the tooth circle

• Check the entire ICE STAR CLAMP for wear-and-tear, damage and deformation (especially in the rim area).

• Check the retaining ring and all axes for wear-and-tear as well as for damage.

• The spring has to have sufficient tension when the lever is in the “locked closed position” (without material in the ICE STAR CLAMP).

• In types LA and LPA, the locking lever has to snap firmly in and out of the “locked closed position” using the lock button.

• Take any ICE STAR CLAMP out of operation in which this button has to be repaired.

Fig. 1: Individual parts (example: type L)

3.2 Periodic inspection / service

The documented periodic inspection has to be carried out by a person who is qualified to do so.Inspection intervals must be observed for ICE STAR CLAMPS according to use:• Annualservice(12-monthinterval):

Use of ICE STAR CLAMPS with various loads/weights within the load-bearing capacity range. Or application requiring < 65 % of load-bearing capacity (symmetrical load)

• Half-yearly service (6-month interval): Use of between 65 % and 100 % of load-bearing capacity.

• Quarterly service (3-month interval): Use between 65 % and 100 % of load-bearing capacity in varying operating conditions.

If anything conspicuous occurs during an inspection, the ICE STAR CLAMP must be repaired or taken out of operation immediately. The inspection interval is based on the most recent service.

3.3 RFID

Each ICE STAR CLAMP is fitted with an RUD ID Point®

(RFID chip) and can be clearly identified by means of an ID number. This can be captured using the RUD ID EASY-CHECK® (reading device) and transferred to the EYE-D.NET system, for example. The latter application assists you in managing and documenting your components.Further information can be found online or from your RUD contact.

The load-bearing capacity (WLL - working load limit) is reduced as follows depending on the angle range:• 100 % WLL: from vertical to 30˚• 75 % WLL: >30˚ to 45˚• 50 % WLL: >45˚ to 90˚

Fig. 16: Load-bearing capacities dependent on angle rangeAt the start of the turning process the lever of the ICE STAR CLAMP must be positioned on the upper side of the horizontal sheet.

5 Use of the ICE STAR CLAMPSNote the following before using ICE STAR CLAMPS:1. Calculate the correct load-bearing capacity and

sheet width for your lifting/transport operation. The model, load-bearing capacity and sheet thickness are marked on the ICE STAR CLAMPS.

WARNINGNever exceed the designated load-bearing capacity and only use sheets permitted for the specified rim width of the ICE STAR CLAMPS.Always observe the minimum load (10 % of the designated load-bearing capacity).

The sheet thickness may not exceed the rim width of the ICE STAR CLAMPS used (see Tables 6 to 10).

Only ever use one sheet per lifting/transport operation.

2. Check the ICE STAR CLAMPS as described in the Section 3.1 “Inspection prior to every use”.

3. When using ICE STAR CLAMP with a crane hook, always use a flexible connection (e.g. forerunner).

4. Opening the ICE STAR CLAMP: Type LA/LPA:

Press the push button and shift the locking lever into the “locked open position”. The tooth seg-ment remains in the housing of the ICE STAR CLAMP.

Type L/LP: Shift the locking lever into the “locked open posi-tion”. The tooth segment remains in the housing of the ICE STAR CLAMP.

Fig. 18: Open clamp/locking lever5. Position the ICE STAR CLAMPS as follows: - Use the correct number of ICE STAR

CLAMPS depending on application and load. Please also note the centre of gravity of the load.

- The gripping surfaces of the ICE STAR CLAMPS must completely grip the sheet. Do not allow the clamps to grip over the edge of a sheet.

- Note that the sheet should not be pushed fully into the rim of the ICE STAR CLAMP. Keep a gap of 6 mm free!

Fig. 19: Distance clamp / sheet - Position the ICE STAR CLAMPS so that the

direction of force of the crane corresponds to the retaining ring capacity.

- At the start of the lifting operation, the ICE STAR CLAMPS have to be positioned so that the lever is on the upper side.

6. Closing the ICE STAR CLAMP : Shift the lever into the “locked closed position”. The spring applies a force to the tooth segment and the sheet is held.

Type LA/LPA: Press the push button and shift the locking lever into the “locked closed position”. The lever must snap into position audibly. The locking lever is then fixed by the push button.

7. Make sure the ICE STAR CLAMP is locked.WARNINGICE STAR CLAMPS may only be used for lifting purposes when they are in the “locked closed position”.ICE STAR CLAMPS that are wrongly mounted, not closed or incorrectly used can result in physical injury and material damage in the event of a fall. Always check ICE STAR CLAMPS care-fully prior to use.

8. Move as far away as possible from the immedi-ate hazard zone. Do not leave suspended loads unattended.

9 Now start the lifting process.

6 Removal of the ICE STAR CLAMPSAfter using the ICE STAR CLAMPS, remove them as follows:1. Make sure: - The sheet has been deposited stably on the

ground. - There is no more tension/lifting force acting on

the sheet/component. - When the lever is placed on the bottom of the

sheet at the end of the 180° lifting operation, there must be sufficient space under the sheet to be able to shift the lever.

2. Opening the ICE STAR CLAMPS: Model LA/LPA: Press the push button and shift the locking lever into the “locked open position”. The tooth segment remains in the housing of the ICE STAR CLAMP.

Type L/LP: Shift the locking lever into the “locked open posi-tion”. The tooth segment remains in the housing of the ICE STAR CLAMPS.

3. Remove the ICE STAR CLAMPS from the sheet4. Inspect the ICE STAR CLAMPS: - If there is visible damage, the clamp must be taken out

of operation (see Section 3 “Inspection and check”). - If there is no visible damage, always keep the ICE STAR CLAMP in the “locked open position” so as to prevent damage to the gripping surfaces.

7 Maintenance and repairRepair work and replacement of individual ICE STAR CLAMP components may only be carried out by a competent person (who have the necessary skills and training).Only original RUD maintenance and spare parts may be used.
