12/68 Safety instructions
Bosch Rexroth AG, A4VG Series 32, RE 92003-01-B/12.2015
2.6 Product-specific safety instructions
The following safety instructions apply to chapters 6 to 14.
WARNING
Danger from excessively high pressure.
Risk of death or injury, or property damage.
Improperly changing the factory pressure settings can result in a pressure increase
beyond the permissible maximum pressure.
Operating the unit above the permissible maximum pressure can cause
components to burst and hydraulic fluid to escape under high pressure.
▶ Changes to the factory settings must only be made by BoschRexroth specialists.
▶ In addition, a pressure relief valve is needed in the hydraulic system as a back-
up. If the axial piston unit is equipped with a pressure cut-off and/or a pressure
controller, this is not an adequate back-up against pressure overload.
Danger from suspended loads.
Risk of death or injury, or property damage.
Improper transportation may cause the axial piston unit to fall down and result in
injury, e.g., crushing or fractures, or damage to the product.
▶ Make sure that the load bearing capacity of the lifting gear is sufficient to safely
bear the weight of the axial piston unit.
▶ Never stand or put your hands under a suspended load.
▶ Make sure the unit remains stable during transport.
▶ Wear your personal protective equipment (e.g., safety goggles, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶ Use suitable lifting gear for transportation.
▶ Observe the prescribed position of the lifting strap.
▶ Observe the national laws and regulations on work and health protection
and transportation.
System/machine under pressure.
Risk of death or serious injury when working on machines/systems not secured!
Risk of property damage.
▶ Turn off the entire system and secure it against being restarted as specified by
the machine/system manufacturer.
▶ Make sure that all relevant components in the hydraulic system are
depressurized. Follow the machine/system manufacturer’s specifications.
▶ Note that the hydraulic system may still may be under pressure even after the
pressure supply itself has been disconnected.
▶ Do not disconnect any line connections, ports and components as long as the
hydraulic system is under pressure.
