2.6 Product-specific safety instructions
The following safety instructions apply for chapters 6 to 14.
WARNING
Danger from excessively high pressure!
Danger to life or risk of injury, damage to equipment.
An inappropriate change in 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 Bosch Rexroth specialist
personnel.
▶ In addition, a pressure relief valve is needed as back-up in the hydraulic system.
If the axial piston unit is equipped with a pressure cut-off and/or a pressure
control, this is not an adequate back-up against pressure overload.
Danger from suspended loads!
Danger to life or risk of injury, damage to equipment.
Improper transportation may cause the axial piston unit to fall down and lead to
injuries e.g. crushing or broken bones or damage to the product.
▶ Make sure that the forklift truck or lifting device has adequate lifting capacity.
▶ Never step or reach under a suspended load.
▶ Ensure a stable position during transportation.
▶ Use your personal protective equipment (e.g., safety glasses, 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.
