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.
Explosion Protection Directive
The term “Explosion Protection Directive” used in these instructions refers to the harmoniza-
tion legislation of the European Union relating to equipment and protective systems intended
for use in potentially explosive atmospheres complied with in accordance with the co-applic-
able EU Declaration of Conformity.
Protective clothing
In addition to the generally prescribed personal protective equipment (safety shoes, overalls,
helmet, etc.), also wear suitable protective gloves and safety glasses when handling the
coupling.
Using the coupling
The relevant occupational safety and environmental protection regulations must be complied
with at all times during transport, assembly, installation, dismantling, operation and mainten-
ance of the coupling.
Only qualified personnel may operate, assemble, maintain and repair the coupling. Informa-
tion about qualified personnel can be found in the legal notes at the beginning of these in-
structions.
If hoisting gear or load lifting 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 applicable standards. This also applies to test runs and rotational direction checks.
Work on the coupling
Only carry out work on the coupling when it is not in operation and is not under load.
Take measures to prevent the accidental restarting of the drive aggregate. Attach an inform-
ation notice to the start switch stating clearly that work is being carried out on the coupling.
Ensure that the entire unit is not under load.
