10.3 Maintenance
The axial piston unit islow-maintenance when used asintended. You can
change the hydraulic fluid; all other maintenance work should be performed
by BoschRexrothService. Observe the specifications in the chapter titled
"Hydraulicfluid" on the data sheet (Part II).
The service life oftheaxial piston unit isheavily dependent onthe quality
ofthehydraulic fluid. This iswhy we recommend changing thehydraulic fluid atleast
once per year orevery 2000 operating hours (whichever occurs first), orhaving
itanalyzed bythehydraulic fluid manufacturer oralaboratory todetermine its
suitability for further use.
The service life of the axial piston unit is limited to the service life of the built-in
bearings and the shaft seal.
Observe the maintenance interval for replacing the bearings and shaft seal.
Have BoschRexrothService perform maintenance on the unit upon reaching the
operating hours listed in the following table or every four years, whichever comes
first; for the address, see chapter 10.5 "Repair" on page 61.
If your application data differs from that shown here, request a custom calculation
from your sales engineer.
Maintenance work on the axial piston unit should only be performed by
BoschRexrothService; for the address, see chapter 10.5 "Repair" on page 61.
