Contamination of hydraulic fluid!
The cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid has a considerable impact on the cleanliness
and service life of the hydraulic system. Contamination of the hydraulic fluid can
cause premature wear and malfunctions!
▶ Make sure that the working environment at the installation site is completely
free of dust and foreign substances in order to prevent foreign particles, such
as welding beads or metal cuttings, from getting into the hydraulic lines and
causing product wear or malfunctions. The axial piston unit should be clean
when installed.
▶ Use only clean connections, hydraulic lines and assembled parts
(e.g. measuring devices).
▶ Do not allow any contamination into the ports when they are being plugged.
▶ Before commissioning, make sure all hydraulic connections are tight, and all
seals and plug-in connections are installed correctly to ensure they are leak-
proof, and fluids and foreign particles cannot enter into the product.
▶ Use a suitable filter system to filter hydraulic fluid during filling to minimize solid
particle contamination and water in the hydraulic system.
Improper cleaning!
Product can be damaged!
▶ Close all openings with appropriate protective covers in order to prevent
cleaning agents from entering the hydraulic system.
▶ Never use solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. Use only water and, if
necessary, a mild cleaning agent to clean the axial piston unit.
▶ Do not point a high-pressure cleaner at sensitive components, e.g. shaft seal,
electrical connections and components.
▶ Use fiber-free cloths for cleaning.
Environmental pollution due to improper disposal!
Careless disposal of the axial piston unit and its assembled parts, the hydraulic
fluid and the packaging material can cause environmental pollution!
▶ Dispose of the axial piston unit, hydraulic fluid and packaging in accordance
with the regulations in your country.
▶ Dispose of the hydraulic fluid in accordance with the applicable safety data
sheet for the hydraulic fluid.
Danger from chemical or corrosive environmental conditions!
Product can be damaged! If the axial piston unit is exposed to chemical or
corrosive environmental conditions, such as sea water, fertilizer or road salt, it can
result in corrosion or, in extreme cases, malfunction. Hydraulic fluid can escape if
leaks occur.
▶ Take appropriate steps to protect the axial piston unit from chemical or
corrosive environmental conditions.
