Safety Instructions
The following designations are used in the installation instructions to highlight instructions of particular importance.

where there is an obligation or prohibition concerning harm to people or damage to the equipment.
The usual extent of supply comprises:
• A factory-assembled transmission unit (1) comprising
–– 2-off guard rings (5)
–– 1-off spacer (6)
–– 2-off membrane packs (7)
–– 12-off drive bolt assemblies (8) *consisting of drive bolt and nut, overload collar and washer*
• Driver hub (2, 2a, 2b)
• Driven hub (2, 2a, 2b)
• 2 sets of hub bolts (3) to secure the transmission unit between the two hub flanges
• A set of compression bolts to compress the transmission unit for assembly between the hubs
NOTE: Only supplied with 0360 size, or for all sizes when both sides have a disc hubs
–– For TDKS-0014 and TSKS-0025 to 0215, with at least one standard hub, compress using standard hub bolts (half on each side)
–– For TSKS-0350 to 1400 sizes, compress using compression slots in the hub. If the length of the spacer allows it, it may be possible to use the
standard hub bolts to compress
IMPORTANT If a general arrangement drawing is supplied with the coupling, then all data indicated on that drawing takes precedence over
information included in these instructions.
Storage Spares
If the coupling is not to be used immediately, it should be stored indoors When requesting spares, always quote the full designation of the
