7.1 Procedure before startup
Before startup the screw connections must be checked and, if necessary, retightened. The alignment
and the distance dimension "S
1
" (see tables in seriesspecific assembly instructions) must also be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
Coupling types with prefitted plate packs must be checked before startup to ensure that the transport
locks (see detail "X" – Figure 19) have been completely removed.
Then finally fit the coupling guard to prevent unintentional contact.
For the use in potentially explosive environments the protective equipment must
comply at least with type of protection IP2X.
Failure to observe these instructions may result in breakage of the coupling.
Danger to life from flying fragments.
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.
