6.1.1 Transporting by hand
Axial piston units with a weight of up to 15 kg can be transported manually for a
short time if necessary.
CAUTION! Danger from heavy loads!
There is a danger of health damage when carrying axial piston units.
▶ Use suitable lifting, placement and relocation equipment.
▶ Use your personal protection equipment (e.g. safety glasses, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶ Do not transport the axial piston unit at sensitive attachment parts (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 lifting device
For transporting, the axial piston unit can be connected to a lifting device via a eye
bolt or a lifting strap.
The axial piston unit can be transported suspended from a eye bolt screwed into the
drive shaft as long as only outward (pulling) axial forces are applied.
▶ For all female threads, use a threaded plug from the same system of units and of
the correct size.
▶ To do this, screw a eye bolt completely into the female thread on the drive shaft.
The thread size is stated in the installation drawing.
▶ Make sure that the eye bolt can bear the total weight of the axial piston unit
plus 20 %.
