2.6 Product-specific safety instructions

The following safety instructions apply to chapters 6 to 14.
Danger from excessive pressure!
Risk of death or injury, or property damage!
Improperly changing the factory pressure settings can result in a pressure increase
beyond the max. permissible pressure.
Operating the unit above the max. permissible pressure can cause components to
burst and hydraulic fluid to escape under high pressure.
▶ Changes to the factory settings may only be made by Bosch Rexroth specialists.
▶ In addition, a pressure relief valve is required in the hydraulic system as a back-
up. If the axial piston unit is equipped with a pressure cut-off and/or pressure
controller, this is not an adequate safeguard against pressure overload.
Danger from suspended loads!
Risk of death or injury, or property damage!
Improper transportation may cause the axial piston unit to fall down and lead to
injury, e.g. crushing or fracture, or damage to the product.
▶ Make sure that the load bearing capacity of the lifting device is sufficient to
safely bear the weight of the axial piston unit.
▶ Never stand or reach under suspended loads.
▶ Make sure the unit remains stable during transport.
▶ Wear your personal protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶ Use suitable lifting devices for transportation.
▶ Observe the prescribed position of the lifting strap.
▶ Observe the national laws and regulations on occupational health and safety,
and transportation.
System/machine under pressure!
Risk of death or serious injury when working on unsecured machines/systems!
Risk of property damage!
▶ Switch off the entire system and secure it against reactivation according to the
parameters provided by the machine/system manufacturer.
▶ Make sure all relevant components in the hydraulic system are depressurized.
Follow the machine/system manufacturer's specifications.
▶ Note that the hydraulic system may still may be under pressure even after the
pressure supply itself has been disconnected.
▶ Do not disconnect any line connections, ports or components as long as the
hydraulic system is under pressure.
