3 The second *QD bushing is placed on the other shaft as described in step 1
and the second flange assembly is slipped over the bushing and assembled to
the distance of 7/8" (as indicated in below/left drawing) apart following the
instructions in step 2.

PRIOR TO INSTALLING FLEXIBLE ELEMENT

FOR PARALLEL SHAFTS
: Using a scale or straight edge, check the flange
spacing and angular misalignment at four places 90° apart around the coupling
without rotating the flanges. The flanges should be aligned so that the
dimensions at all four places do not vary more than 1/32" for best results.
Check parallel misalignment by laying the straight edge across the flange O.D.
several places around the circumference of the coupling. Parallel misalignment
not to exceed 1/32" for best results.
FOR PARALLEL AND NON-PARALLEL SHAFTS: For the longest coupling life it is
always best to align couplings as accurately as possible upon the initial
installation.
INSTALLATION OF FLEXIBLE ELEMENT
5.
You may loosen the flange assembly screws as much as possible without
disassembly of cover or you may remove the screws completely thus
disassembling the cover. In either case wrap the flexible element around
the flange assembly.
