6.1 Transporting the axial piston unit
The transportation options below exist depending on the weight and duration
of the transport:
•
Transport by hand (chapter not relevant for this axial piston unit)
•
Transporting with lifting device (eye bolt or lifting strap)

6.1.1 Transporting by hand
Axial piston units with a weight of up to 15 kg can be transported manually for a
short time if necessary.
CAUTION!
Danger from heavy loads!
There is a danger of health damage when carrying axial piston units.
▶
Use suitable lifting, placement and relocation equipment.
▶
Use your personal protection equipment (e.g. safety glasses, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶
Do not transport the axial piston unit at sensitive attachment parts (e.g.
sensors or valves).
▶
Carefully place the axial piston unit on the seating to prevent it from being damaged.
6.1.2 Transporting with lifting device
For transporting, the axial piston unit can be connected to a lifting device via a
lifting bolt or a lifting strap.
The axial piston unit can be transported suspended from the lifting bolt which comes
installed in R port as standard option on all units (
except
for units with HW controllers).
▶
WARNING:
Lifting device should have a locking mechanism to ensure that device
locks around the lifting bolt so that the unit cannot slide out of lifting device.
▶
WARNING:
When lifting the unit from the lifting bolt, the axial piston unit can
rotate or tilt. Careful handling must be maintained to prevent injury
▶
Only guide the axial piston unit by hand for fine positioning and to avoid
oscillations
▶
When installing the unit into the primary drive assembly, carefully guide the
unit so that the drive shaft is axially aligned to the mating component and is not
tilted at an angle.
▶
The lifting device must be capable of handling the total weight of the unit plus 20%.
