– Fit the axial locking element
– Balance
• Align the individual components precisely with one another.
• Refer to the operating instructions for the coupling for instructions on how to install,
maintain and operate the coupling.
WARNING
Danger of injury due to coupling rupture
Flying fragments can cause fatal injury.
Observe the operating instructions for the couplings.
NOTICE
Serious or irreparable damage to the gear unit and coupling caused by inaccurate or
incorrect alignment
Failure to accurately or correctly align the gear unit and coupling may result in serious or ir-
reparable damage to both components.
Align the individual components precisely with one another when installing the drives.
Make sure that the maximum permissible displacement values are not exceeded during
operation.
