WARNING
(General)
・
Install a safety cover and prevent access to any rotating parts: otherwise injury may occur. Set a safety
mechanism to stop the rotating parts when the cover is lifted.
・
Transporting, installing, operating, maintaining or inspecting must be carried out by skilled and
professional engineers to avoid mis-handling and hazardous situations.
・
When coupling is used with vehicles that carry human, use a device to protect the vehicle: otherwise,
accidents and damage may occur.
・
When the coupling is used for an elevator, install a safety device on the elevator in order to prevent it from
falling, which can cause damage and accidents resulting in death or injury.
(Unpacking upon delivery)
・
If delivered in a wooden case, unpack with care. Sharp nails may cause injury.
(Additional machining)
・
Never modify the coupling; the quality or function of the product may decrease and break or damage the
machine or injure the operator.
(Transportation)
・
Never step under the product when it is being elevated for transportation: otherwise, either the poduct or
load may fall, causing accidents resulting in death or injury.
(Installation)
・
Wear appropriate clothing and safety gear (safety goggles, gloves, shoes, etc.).
・
Make sure the power is switched off, and the machine is completely stopped before installing. Take caution
so that the power does not reconnect accidentally.
・
Make sure to tighten and apply sufficient amount of anti-loosening agent to the hexagonal socket head cap
screws.
(Operation)
・
Avoid contact with any rotating parts ( coupling, shaft, etc. ) during operations. Rotating parts can catch
approaching objects and cause serious injuries.
