Transport and storage

Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"!
4.1

Scope of supply

The products supplied are listed in the dispatch papers. Check on receipt to ensure that all the products
listed have actually been delivered. Parts damaged during transport or missing parts must be reported in
writing immediately.
The equipment is delivered ready for operation, depending upon an order with or without fluid filling.
Couplings filled with operating medium are marked by a label ("...L, HLP 32 DIN 51524/2, operating oil
already put in") in the vicinity of the filling hole. Delivered separately with every coupling is a fusible safety
plug (depending on design also a thermal circuit breaker) with sealing rings, a locking plate and a retaining
screw, if provided for.
The coupling in design in accordance with the Directive 2014/34/EU is provided with the
CE identification mark as described in section 5.
4.2

Transport

When transporting the unit, use only lifting and handling equipment of sufficient
load­bearing capacity.
The coupling must be transported using suitable transport equipment only.
Different forms of packaging may be used depending on the size of the coupling and method of transport.
Unless otherwise agreed, the packaging complies with the HPE Packaging Guidelines.
The symbols marked on the packing must be observed at all times. These have the following meanings:

4.3

Storage of the coupling

Unless otherwise expressly agreed, the coupling is delivered in a preserved condition and can be stored
in a covered, dry place for up to 3 months. If storage is provided for a protracted period, the unit should be
treated with a long­term preservative agent on all outer surfaces with the exception of the aluminium
housing (Flender must be consulted).
Before cleaning the coupling and applying the long­term preservative agent, any
+
flexible elements of the N­EUPEX add­on coupling must be removed. The shaft-sealing
rings must not come into contact with solvents.
Correctly stored couplings retain their properties unchanged for up to five years. Unfavourable storage
conditions and improper treatment of the flexible elements and/or seals will negatively affect their physical
properties. Such negative effects may be caused by e.g. the action of oxygen, ozone, extreme
temperatures, light, moisture, or solvents.
4.4

Storage area for a protracted period

The storage area must be dry and free from dust. The couplings must not be stored with chemicals,
solvents, motor fuels, acids, etc. Furthermore, the flexible elements and seals should be protected against
light, in particular direct sunlight and bright artificial light with a high ultraviolet content.
The storage areas must not contain any ozone­generating equipment, such as
fluorescent light sources, mercury vapour lamps, high­voltage electrical equipment.
Damp storage areas are unsuitable. Ensure that no condensation occurs. The most
favourable atmospheric humidity is below 65 %.
