High noise development during operation!
Risk of hearing damage or hearing loss!
The noise emission of axial piston units depends on, among other factors,
rotational speed, working pressure and installation conditions. The sound pressure
level may rise above 70 dB (A) in certain application conditions.
▶ Always wear hearing protection near a running axial piston unit.
Hot surfaces on axial piston unit!
Risk of burning!
▶ Allow the axial piston unit to cool down sufficiently before touching it.
▶ Wear heat-resistant protective clothing, e.g. gloves.
Improper cable and line routing!
Risk of stumbling and property damage! Improper routing of cables and lines
can cause a risk of stumbling as well as damage to equipment and components,
e.g. due to lines and connectors being torn off.
▶ Always lay cables and lines so no one can trip over them, they do not become
kinked or twisted, do not rub on edges and do not run through sharp-edged
ducts without adequate protection.
Contact with hydraulic fluid!
Risk of adverse health effects, e.g. eye injury, skin irritation, poisoning from
inhalation!
▶ Avoid contact with hydraulic fluids.
▶ When working with hydraulic fluids, strictly follow the safety instructions
provided by the lubricant manufacturer.
▶ Wear your personal protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶ Consult a doctor immediately if hydraulic fluid gets in your eyes or bloodstream,
or is swallowed.
Escaping hydraulic fluid due to leakage from machine/system components!
Risk of burning and risk of injury due to escaping hydraulic fluid jet!
▶ Depressurize the relevant machine/system component and repair the leak.
▶ Never attempt to block or seal the leak or hydraulic fluid jet with a cloth.
Danger from improper handling!
Risk of slipping! Risk of slipping on wet surfaces when climbing on the axial
piston unit.
▶ Never grab or climb onto the axial piston unit.
▶ Check how to safely get on top of the machine/system.
