Safety instructions for installation

Inappropriate fastening material
If screws of an incorrect property class have been selected or if they have been fastened to
an incorrect tightening torque, they may break or become loose. This will cause the machine
to move, which could damage the bearings. The rotor could smash into the machine enclosure
and machine parts could be flung out of place. This can result in death, serious injury or
material damage.
● Comply with the required property classes for screwed connections.
● Tighten the screwed connections to the specified tightening torques.
Incorrect alignment
If the machine has not been properly aligned, this will mean the fastening parts are subjected
to stress/distortion. Screws may become loose or break, the machine will move, machine
parts could be flung out of place. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Carefully align the machine to the driven machine.
NOTICE
