General instructions on damage to property and the product
Contamination of the 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 fully 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 must be installed in
clean condition.
▶ Use only clean connections, hydraulic lines and attachments
(e.g., measuring equipment).
▶ No contaminants may enter the ports when they are sealed.
▶ Before commissioning, make sure that all hydraulic connections are tight and
that all of the seals and plugs are installed correctly to ensure that they are leak
proof and fluids and foreign particles are prevented from penetrating
the product.
▶ Use a suitable filter system to filter hydraulic fluid during filling to minimize solid
impurities and water in the hydraulic system.
Improper cleaning.
Product can be damaged.
▶ Plug all openings with the appropriate protection equipment 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 lint-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 result in environmental pollution.
▶ Dispose of the axial piston unit, hydraulic fluid and packaging in accordance
with the national 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.
