Explanation regarding Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
The couplings described here are “components” in accordance with the Machinery Directive and
do not require a declaration of incorporation.
ATEX Directive
The term "ATEX Directive" used in these instructions stands for the harmonisation legislation of
the European Union in compliance with the declaration of conformance for equipment and
protective systems for correct use in hazardous zones.
Protective clothing
In addition to the generally prescribed personal protective equipment (safety shoes, overalls,
helmet, etc.), also wear suitable safety gloves and safety goggles when handling the coupling.
Using the coupling
The relevant work safety and environmental protection regulations must be complied with at all
times during transport, assembly, installation, dismantling, operation and maintenance of the
coupling.
Only qualified personnel may operate, assemble, maintain and repair the coupling. Information

If lifting gear or load suspension devices are used for transporting, these have to be suitable for
the weight of the coupling.
If the coupling has visible damage, it may not be assembled or put into operation.
The coupling may only be operated in a suitable housing or with touch protection according to
