2.1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
2.1.1
Before installation, the customer has to make sure that the safety requirements
for installation are observed (see section 1.10 REQUIREMENTS FOR STAND-
ARD AND ATEX INSTALLATION). The temperature in the installation location
must respect the operating characteristics of each hydromechanic coupling
(see TECHNICAL DATA SHEET OF THE FLUID COUPLING).
2.1.2
Handling (hoisting and unloading) of the hydromechanic coupling must be
effected with lifting equipment of suitable load capacity recommended by the
manufacturer.
Do not use any equipment and hoisting point not expressely raccomended
by the manufacturer; the hydromechanic coupling centre of gravity is
irregular: RISK OF OVERTURNING AND/OR LOAD LOSS.
2.1.3
The installation of the hydromechanic coupling must respect all instructions
reported in the identification plate and the TECHNICAL DATA SHEET OF THE
HYDROMECHANIC COUPLING.
The installation of the coupling, which is
not in compliance with the data reported on the identification plate and the
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET, is prohibited.
2.1.4
The hydromechanic coupling must be connected and held tightly in place at the
drive end through an integral clamping system using appropriate devices as
foreseen by the manufacturer (central clamping screw, see section 2.3).
Any installation of the hydromechanic coupling not integral to the
plant or accomplished through devices, which are not included in
the manufacturer’s recommended parts list, is not allowed. RISK OF
UNBALANCE AND/OR DYNAMIC FAILURE.
2.1.5
The installation room must have suitable air intakes for heat dissipation.
Hydromechanic coupling installation with no or insufficient air flow is not
allowed. DANGER OF OVERHEATING.
2.1.6
The hydromechanic coupling should never be exposed to heat sources, which may
rise its temperature; installation in hot rooms needs a suitable forced ventilation
system for heat dissipation.
Do not install the hydromechanic coupling next to heat sources, if no forced
ventilation is available. DANGER OF OVERHEATING.
2.1.7
The installation room of the hydromechanic coupling must be equipped with inter-
locked protections and suitable safety switch in order to prevent access during
component rotation and/ or when voltage is applied to the drive end.
No admittance to the hydromechanic coupling is permitted during
component rotation and/or when voltage is applied to the drive end.
DANGER OF DEATH.
2.1.8
In plants where the noise level is higher than 80 dB, suitable soundabsorbing
devices are required.
