6.1.2 Transporting with 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 threaded holes, use a threaded plug from the same system of units and of
the correct size.
▶ To do this, screw an eye bolt completely into the female thread on the drive shaft.
The threaded size is stated in the installation drawing.
▶ Make sure that the eye bolt can bear the total weight of the axial piston unit
plus20%.
You can hoist the axial piston unit as shown in Fig. 4 with the eye bolt screwed into
the drive shaft.

WARNING! Danger from suspended loads!
During transport with a lifting device, the axial piston unit can topple out of the
lifting strap and cause injuries.
▶ Use the widest possible lifting strap.
▶ Make sure that the axial piston unit is securely fixated with the lifting strap.
▶ Only guide the axial piston unit by hand for fine positioning and to avoid
oscillations.
▶ Never step or reach under a suspended load.
▶ Place the lifting strap around the axial piston unit in such a way that it neither
passes over the attachment parts (e.g. valves) nor that the axial piston unit is
hung from attachment parts (see Fig. 5).
