2 Safety instructions
2.1 About this chapter
The axial piston unit has been manufactured to generally accepted engineering
standards. There is still, however, a risk of personal injury or property damage if this
chapter and the safety instructions in this manual are not observed.
▶
Read this manual completely and thoroughly before working with the axial piston
unit.
▶
Keep it in a location where it is accessible to all users at all times.
▶
Always include the required documentation when you pass the axial piston unit
on to third parties.
2.2 Intended use
Axial piston units are hydraulic components, meaning that in their application area
they are classified neither as complete nor as partly completed machinery as defined
in the EC Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). The component is exclusively intended
to form partly completed machinery or complete machinery together with other
components. The component may only be commissioned after it has been installed
in the machine/system for which it is intended and the safety of the entire system
has been established in accordance with the Machinery Directive.
This product is intended for the following use:
The A2FM and A2FE axial piston units are only approved as hydraulic motors in
hydrostatic drives.
The A2FMT axial piston unit is only approved as a hydraulic motor for hydrostatic
drum drives in a closed circuit in concrete mixer trucks.
▶
Observe the technical data, the application and operating conditions, and the
performance limits as specified in data sheet 91071/91072 and in the order
confirmation. Information on approved hydraulic fluids can be found in data
sheets 91071 and 91072.
The axial piston unit is only intended for commercial use and not for private use.
Intended use includes having fully read and understood this manual, especially
Chapter 2 “Safety instructions” on page 8.
2.3 Improper use
Any use other than that described as intended use is considered improper.
Bosch Rexroth AG is not liable for damages resulting from improper use. The user is
solely responsible for any risks arising from improper use.
The following foreseeable misuses are also considered improper (this list is not
exhaustive):
• Use outside the operating parameters approved in the data sheet or in the order
confirmation (unless specifically approved by the customer)
• Use of non-approved fluids, e.g. water or polyurethane components
• Changes to factory settings by unauthorized persons
• Use of assembled parts (e.g. control unit, valves) not in combination with the
specified Rexroth components
