2.2 Intended use2.2 Intended use
Only use the coupling according to the conditions specified in the service and delivery con-
tract and the technical data in the annex. Deviating operating conditions are considered im-
proper use. The user or operator of the machine or system is solely liable for any resulting
damage.
When using the coupling please specifically observe the following:
• Do not make any modifications to the coupling that go beyond the permissible machining
described in these instructions. This also applies to touch protection facilities.
• Use only original replacement parts from Flender. Flender only accepts liability for ori-
ginal replacement parts from Flender.
Other replacement parts are not tested and approved by Flender. Non-approved re-
placement parts may possibly change the design characteristics of the coupling and thus
impact active and/or passive safety.
Flender will accept no liability or warranty whatsoever for damage occurring as a result
of the use of non-approved replacement parts. The same applies to any accessories that
were not supplied by Flender.
If you have any queries, please contact our customer service organisation (see Service and
support (Page53)).
