Notice that although categorized under "CAUTION", subjects discussed may lead to serious results depending on the situation.
(General)
・Install a safety cover and prevent access to any rotating parts: otherwise injury may occur. Set a safety
mechanism to stop the rotating parts when the cover is lifted.
・Transporting, installing, operating, maintaining or inspecting must be carried out by skilled and
professional engineers to avoid mis-handling and hazardous situations.
・When coupling is used with vehicles that carry human, use a device to protect the vehicle: otherwise,
accidents and damage may occur.
・When the coupling is used for an elevator, install a safety device on the elevator in order to prevent it from
falling, which can cause damage and accidents resulting in death or injury.
(Unpacking upon delivery)
・If delivered in a wooden case, unpack with care. Sharp nails may cause injury.
(Additional machining)
・Never modify the coupling; the quality or function of the product may decrease and break or damage the
machine or injure the operator.
(Transportation)
・Never step under the product when it is being elevated for transportation: otherwise, either the poduct or
load may fall, causing accidents resulting in death or injury.
(Installation)
・Wear appropriate clothing and safety gear (safety goggles, gloves, shoes, etc.).
・Make sure the power is switched off, and the machine is completely stopped before installing. Take caution
so that the power does not reconnect accidentally.
・Make sure to tighten and apply sufficient amount of anti-loosening agent to the hexagonal socket head cap
screws.
