7.1 Inspection and servicing intervals
Injury hazard!
Switch off the drive before commencing any work on the coupling!
Secure the drive against accidental activation and rotation!
Adhere to the inspection and servicing intervals given in Table 2. If damage
to the coupling is noted on the initial inspection, in particular to the rubber
element, check if one of the causes given in Table 1 “Operating faults” may
be responsible. The inspection intervals should then be adjusted to suit the
governing operating conditions. Under special operating conditions, inspec-
tion and servicing work may also be necessary at shorter intervals.
