ofthedatasheets can befound inTable 1 „Required and supplementary
documentation“ onpage 5.
BoschRexroth evaluates hydraulic uids onthe basis oftheFluid Rating
according todata sheet 90235. For hydraulic uids which have been positively
evaluated inthe Fluid Rating, please refer todata sheet 90245 „BoschRexroth
uid rating list for Rexroth hydraulic components (pumps and motors)“.
The hydraulic uid should beselected sothat theoperating viscosity inthe
operating temperature range iswithin theoptimum range (ν
opt
; see selection
diagram inthe data sheet 93223).
Toensure thefunctional reliability oftheaxial piston unit, cleanliness level
20/18/15 according toat least ISO4406 isrequired for thehydraulic uid. At
ahydraulic uid viscosity ofless than 10 mm²/s (e.g. due tohigh temperatures
during short-term operation) atthedrain port, acleanliness level ofatleast
19/17/14 according toISO4406 isrequired. You can nd details onthe
permissible and optimal viscosities and admissible temperatures indata sheet
93223.
Proceed asfollows toll theaxial piston unit:
1. Place adrip tray under theaxial piston unit tocollect any hydraulic uid that
may leak.
NOTICE! Contaminated hydraulic uid!
The cleanliness levels of hydraulic uids on delivery do not normally conform to
the requirements for our components.
▶ Use a suitable lter system to lter hydraulic uids during lling to minimize
solid impurities and water in the hydraulic system.
2. Fill and air bleed the axial piston unit via the appropriate ports, see chapter
7.3 “Installation position” on page 27. The hydraulic lines of the system must
also be lled.
NOTICE! Damage to equipment due to improper lubrication!
Product can be damaged or destroyed!
▶ When using a shut-off valve in the suction line, make sure that the input of the
axial piston unit can only be started when the shut-off valves are open.
▶ Dimension a shut-off valve in the suction line so that no inadmissible pressure
drop occurs in the suction area when the shut-off valve is open.
3. When using a shut-off valve in the suction line, only operate the axial piston unit
when the shut-off valves are open.
4. Test the direction of rotation of the diesel engine. To do this, rotate the diesel
engine briey at the lowest rotational speed (inching). Make sure that the
direction of rotation of the axial piston unit agrees with the details of the name
plate, see chapter5.3 “Product identication”, Fig. 3:Name plate A21VG on
page 20.
5. Operate the axial piston pump at a lower speed (starter speed for internal
combustion engines or inching operation for electric motors) until the hydraulic
