Maintaining 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.
CAUTION
Risk of burns from hot surfaces
Shut the system off before servicing, maintaining or repairing
the coupling.
Allow the components to cool.
Wear protective gloves when working on the coupling.
CAUTION!
Malfunctions and damage to the coupling as a result of
material fatigue and wear.
Replace aluminium coupling flanges at least every 10 years.
Preparing for maintenance work
Obtain the work clearance permit from the responsible person prior to all work on
and with the coupling.
Switch the drive unit off.
Secure the drive unit to prevent reactivation.
Post up a caution sign indicating that work is in progress.
Wear the personal protective equipment specified by the owner.
To handle the coupling, follow the instructions on page 23.
