5  Assembly 

 
5.1  Before assembly 
 
 

• 

Injury hazard! 

• 

Switch off the drive before commencing any work on the coupling! 

• 

Secure the drive against accidental activation and rotation! 

• 

Incorrectly tightened screws can lead to serious personal injury 

and material damage! 

 
 

• 

Assemble outside of the danger zone. Ensure that suitable means 

of transport are available and that transport routes are free of ob-
stacles. 
 

• 

In accordance with health and safety regulations, all rotating parts 

must  be  protected  against  accidental  contact  and  against  falling 
parts by fixed protective installations. 
 

• 

To avoid sparks, use stainless steel covers! 

• 

As a minimum requirement, the covers must comply with the IP2X 

protective system.  

• 

The covers should be designed such that no dust can settle on the 

coupling. 

• 

The cover may not contact the coupling and hinder its correct 

functioning in any way.  

 
 
Clean all coupling components before assembly. Do not use petrol, paraffin or oil to clean the 
rubber element. The connecting surfaces of the flange must be clean, dry and free of grease.  
Place the coupling with the coupling flange (Figure 1, Item 1) in the centre of the flywheel on 
the  combustion  engine.  Take  care  that  the  components  do  not  cant.  Tighten  the  fastening 
screws uniformly. 
Connect the cardan shaft to the connecting flange (Figure 1, Item 3).
