Operating instructions 01/2019
4. Transport and storage
Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions".
4.1 Scope of supply
The products supplied are listed in the dispatch papers. Check on receipt to ensure that all the products
listed have actually been delivered. Parts damaged during transport or missing parts must be reported in
writing immediately. After consulting Flender an expert is to be called in.
A damaged coupling becomes an explosion hazard. Operating the coupling with
damaged coupling parts is not permitted in potentially explosive environments in
accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU.
4.2 Transport
When transporting the unit, use only lifting and handling equipment of sufficient
loadbearing capacity.
The coupling must be transported using suitable transport equipment only.
Different forms of packaging may be used depending on the size of the coupling and method of transport.
Unless otherwise agreed, the packaging complies with the HPE Packaging Guidelines.
The symbols marked on the packing must be observed at all times. These have the following meanings:
Top Fragile Keep dry Keep cool Centre of

4.3 Storage of the coupling
The coupling is delivered in a preserved condition and can be stored in a covered, dry place for up to
6 months. If the unit is to be stored for a longer period, it should be treated with a longterm preservative
agent (Flender must be consulted).
Correctly stored couplings retain their properties unchanged. Unfavourable storage conditions and
improper treatment will negatively affect the physical properties of the coupling. Such negative effects may
be caused by e.g. the action of extreme temperatures or humidity.
The storage area must be dry and free from dust. The couplings must not be stored with aggressive
chemicals, acids, alkalis, etc.
Damp storage rooms (air humidity higher than 65 %) are not suitable. Ensure that no
condensation occurs.
