2.6 Product-specific safety instructions
The following safety instructions apply to chapters 6 to 14.
WARNING
Danger from excessive pressure!
Risk of death or injury, or property damage!
Improperly changing the factory pressure settings can result in a pressure increase
beyond the maximum permissible pressure.
Operating the unit above the maximum permissible pressure can cause
components to burst and hydraulic fluid to escape under high pressure.
▶ Changes to the factory settings may only be made by Bosch Rexroth specialists.
▶ In addition, a pressure relief valve is required in the hydraulic system as back-up.
If the axial piston unit is equipped with a pressure cut-off and/or pressure
controller, this is not an adequate safeguard against pressure overload.
Danger due to suspended loads!
Risk of death or injury, or property damage!
Improper transportation may cause the axial piston unit to fall down and lead to
injury, e.g. crushing or fracture, or damage to the product.
▶ Make sure that the load bearing capacity of the lifting device is sufficient to
safely bear the weight of the axial piston unit.
▶ Never step or grip under suspended loads.
▶ Ensure a stable transport position.
▶ Use your personal protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶ Use suitable lifting devices for transport.
▶ Observe the prescribed position of the lifting strap.
▶ Observe the national laws and regulations on occupational health and safety,
and transportation.
System/machine under pressure!
Risk of death or serious injury when working on unsecured machines/systems!
Property damage!
▶ Switch off the relevant machine/system part and secure it against reactivation
according to the parameters by the machine/system manufacturer.
▶ Ensure that all relevant components of the hydraulic system are depressurized.
For this purpose, observe the parameters indicated by the machine/system
manufacturer.
▶ Please note that the hydraulic system might still be pressurized even after
separation from the actual pressure supply.
▶ Do not disconnect any line connections, ports or components as long as the
hydraulic system is under pressure.
