DANGER
Danger due to bursting of the coupling
The coupling can burst if the maintenance intervals are not adhered to. There is a risk of
fatal injury from flying fragments. Bursting of the coupling can lead to an explosion in po-
tentially explosive atmospheres.
• Please observe all the stipulations concerning maintenance of the coupling in this sec-
tion.
CAUTION
Hot operating fluid and hot surfaces
Severe injury possible due to escaping hot operating fluid and hot surface.
• Wear suitable protective gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing.
• Allow the operating fluid to cool down.
• Allow the coupling to cool down.
WARNING
Physical injury
Injury from rotating parts.
• Only carry out work on the coupling when it is at a standstill.
• Secure the drive aggregate against unintentional startup.
• Attach an information notice to the start switch stating clearly that work is being carried
out on the coupling.
• Before starting any work, make sure that the unit is free from loads.

DANGER
Danger due to bursting of the coupling
The coupling could burst if the maximum permitted torsional backlash is exceeded. There
is a risk of fatal injury from flying fragments. If a coupling bursts in an area at risk of explo-
sion, then this can result in an explosion.
• Note also the actual wear of the elastomer components.
