CAUTION
High noise development during operation!
Danger of hearing damage, hearing loss!
The noise emission of axial piston units depends on rotational speed, working
pressure and installation conditions, among other factors. 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.
▶
Protect yourself with heat-resistant protective clothing, e.g. gloves.
Inappropriate routing of cables and lines!
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 install cables and lines in a way that nobody can fall over them, that
they are not bend or twisted, do not chafe on edges and are not guided
through ducts with sharp edges without sufficient protection.
Contact with hydraulic fluid!
Danger to health / damage to health, e.g. eye injury, skin damage, toxication
in the event of inhalation!
▶
Avoid any contact with hydraulic fluids.
▶
When handling hydraulic fluids, the safety instructions of the lubricant
manufacturer need to be observed at all times.
▶
Use your personal protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶
Immediately seek medical attention, however, if hydraulic fluid gets into your
eyes or blood circuit or if you swallow it accidentally.
Escaping hydraulic fluid through leaking 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!
Slip hazard! 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.
2.7 Personal protection equipment
The personal protection equipment is the responsibility of the user of the axial
piston unit. Observe the safety regulations and provisions of your country.
All components of the personal protection equipment must be intact.
