IMPORTANT Only use original bolts delivered with the Sleipner thruster. Also, avoid contact between the AC motor shaft and the coupling drive shaft. Centa has applied retention Inbus Plus all glue to all bolts. (NB: The glue will harden within 4-5 hours at 20˚C.) Additional use of any loctite or anaerobic adhesives will destroy the natural vulcanisation of the rubber.

The coupling is entirely maintenance free. Avoid contact with oil and similar substances since the natural rubber is not oil resistant. For a detailed Universal Joint Shaft installation manual, contact your Sleipner dealer. Add protection to the Universal Joint Shaft according to relevant safety regulations.
