2 Safety instructions
2.1 About this chapter
The axial piston unit has been manufactured according to the generally accepted
rules of current technology. There is, however, still a danger of personal injury or
property damage if this chapter and the safety instructions in this documentation are
not complied with.
▶
Read this documentation completely and thoroughly before working with the axial
piston unit.
▶
Keep this documentation 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 in the
sense of 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 axial piston unit is only approved as a pump for hydrostatic drives in closed
circuit.
▶
Observe the technical data, the application and operating conditions and
the performance limits as specified in data sheet 92004 and in the order
confirmation. Information about approved hydraulic fluids can be found in data
sheet 92004.
The axial piston unit is only intended for professional use and not for private use.
Intended use includes having read and understood the complete documentation,
especially chapter 2 “Safety instructions” on page 9.

Any use other than that described as intended use shall be considered as improper
and is therefore impermissible.
Bosch Rexroth AG is not liable for damages resulting from improper use. The user
shall bear all risks arising from improper use.
The following foreseeable faulty usages are also be considered to be improper (this
list does not claim to be 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. attachment filter, control unit, valves) other than the
specified Rexroth components
