Weight may vary by equipment.
6.1.1 Transporting by hand
Axial piston units with a weight of up to 15kg can be transported manually for a
short time if necessary.
CAUTION. Danger from heavy loads.
Health hazard from carrying axial piston units.
▶ Use suitable lifting, lowering and moving methods.
▶ Wear your personal protective equipment (e.g., safety goggles, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶ Do not use sensitive attachments to transport the axial piston unit (e.g., sensors
or valves).
▶ Carefully place the axial piston unit on the seating to prevent it from being damaged.
6.1.2 Transporting with a lifting device
For transporting, the axial piston unit can be connected to a lifting device via an eye
bolt or a lifting strap.
The axial piston unit can be transported suspended from an eye bolt screwed into
the drive shaft as long as only outward (pulling) axial forces are applied.
▶ For all female threads, use a stud end from the same system of units and of the
correct size.
