Transporting the coupling
DANGER
Risk of explosion when operating the coupling in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
Risk of explosion with fatal injuries.
Exclusively use couplings bearing the corresponding ATEX
marking in potentially explosive atmospheres.
In this respect, read and follow the additional notes in the
supplementary manual for ATEX operation.
DANGER
Danger to life due to falling or tipping loads.
Pay attention to the centre of gravity of the load.
Use a crane of adequate load-carrying capacity to lift the
load.
Use lifting gear of adequate load-carrying capacity to lift the
load.
Make sure that no persons are under suspended loads.
You are allowed to handle a coupling or coupling components weighing up to 10 kg
by yourself.
You are required to involve a second person to handle a coupling or coupling
components weighing 10 kg to 25 kg. Alternatively, you may use suitable lifting
equipment.
You must handle a coupling or coupling components weighing over 25 kg using
suitable lifting equipment and with the support of a second person.
The precise weight as of which support is required depends on your physical
capabilities and the local regulations and conditions.
In order to transport the coupling, or a component thereof, above a weight of 25 kg,
proceed as follows:
Attach the coupling or a coupling component with suitable lifting gear, see from
page 24 (Fig. A).
Transport the coupling or coupling component to the designated location.
In order to transport the coupling, or a component thereof, above a weight of 25 kg
during assembly or maintenance, proceed as follows:
Attach the coupling or a coupling component with suitable lifting gear, see from
page 24 (Fig. B).
Involve a second person for assistance.
With the assistance of the second person, make sure that the components to be
handled cannot tip over during lifting and positioning.
