Maintaining the coupling
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.
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.
To handle the coupling, follow the instructions on page 21.
Wear the personal protective equipment specified by the owner.
Performing inspections
The owner has the duty to inspect the coupling at the intervals defined for the specific
operation. The inspection must be performed by qualified, specialist personnel and
documented thereafter.
Visually inspect the coupling on a regular basis, but at least once a year.
During the inspection, check for damage of all kinds and particularly for:
−
Cracks
−
Correct seating of the bolts
−
Corrosion
−
Wear
−
Ageing of the saddle elements or of the toothed ring
−
Embrittlement of the saddle elements or of the toothed ring.
Make sure that damaged couplings or saddle elements are replaced immediately.
Exclusively use the properly designed genuine OEM couplings and flexible
elements from REICH-KUPPLUNGEN.
Check for loose bolts with the aid of the coloured markings on the bolts.
Tighten loose bolts to the required torque.
If necessary, re-mark the bolt positions.
Document the test.
If in doubt, contact REICH-KUPPLUNGEN for damage and wear assessment.
