2 Safety instructions
2.1 About this chapter
The axial piston unit has been manufactured according to the generally accepted
rules of current technology. There is, however, still a danger of personal injury
or damage to equipment if this chapter and the safety instructions in this
documentation are not complied with.
▶ Read this documentation completely and thoroughly before working with the
axial piston unit.
▶ Keep this documentation in a location where it is accessible to all users at all times.
▶ Always include the required documentation when you pass the axial piston unit
on to third parties.
2.2 Intended use
Axial piston units are hydraulic components, meaning that in their application they
are classified neither as complete nor as incomplete machines in the sense of the
EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. A component is exclusively intended to form an
incomplete or a complete machine together with other components. The component
may only be commissioned after it has been installed in the machine/system for
which it is intended and the safety of the entire system has been established in
accordance with the machinery directive.
The product is intended for the following use:
The axial piston unit is only approved as a hydraulic motor in hydrostatic drives.
▶ Observe the technical data, the application and operating conditions and
the performance limits as specified in data sheet91071 and in the order
confirmation. Information about approved hydraulic fluids can be found in data
sheet91071.
The axial piston unit is only intended for professional use and not for private use.
Intended use also includes having read and understood the documentation in full,
especially Chapter2 “Safety instructions” on page9.
2.3 Improper use
Any use other than that described as intended use shall be considered as improper
and is therefore impermissible.
Bosch Rexroth AG is not liable for damages resulting from improper use. The user
bears all risks from improper use.
The following foreseeable forms of misuse are also improper (this list is not
exhaustive):
• Use outside the operating parameters approved in the data sheet or in the order
confirmation (unless customer-specific approval has been granted and confirmed in
writing)
• Use of non-approved fluids, e.g.,water or polyurethane components
• Changes to factory settings by unauthorized persons
• Use of add-ons (e.g., valves) not in combination with the specified Rexroth
components
