To prevent
injuries of persons and damage to the cardan
shafts always make sure that the shafts are
safely transported and stored. |
Please consider the following precautions:
|
 |
Use strong nylon
ropes or lifting belts. When using steel cords,
protect the edges. |
|
|
Cardan shafts
should be transported in a horizontal position
(see illustration). For non-horizontal
transportation additional precautions must be
taken to prevent the splined parts from
separating.
Danger of injury!
 |
|
|
When lifting or
putting down the shaft, the moving parts (flange
yoke and journal cross) may tilt and lead to
injuries.
Keep hands away from the joint!
Danger of crushed hands! |
|
|
Avoid bumps and
knocks during transport and storage. |
|
|
Do not store or
handle the shaft with any stress or load on the
spline protection (1) or the seal (2).

|
|
Use appropriate
frames or racks for storage so that the flange
yokes are not loaded. |
|
|
Use chocks or
blocks to prevent cardan shaft from rolling. |
|
|
Secure shaft
against falling over if it is stored in a
vertical position. |
|
|
Keep cardan
shafts in a dry place. |
