wARnInG! Danger from suspended loads!
During transport with a lifting device, the axial piston unit can topple out of the
lifting strap and cause injuries.
▶ Use the widest possible lifting strap.
▶ Make sure that the axial piston unit is securely fixed with the lifting strap.
▶ Only guide the axial piston unit by hand for fine positioning and to avoid
oscillations.
▶ Never stand or put your hands under a suspended load.
▶ Place the lifting strap around the axial piston unit in such a way that it neither
passes over the assembled parts (e.g. valves, sensors) nor that the axial piston
unit is hung from assembled parts.

6.2 Storing the axial piston unit

• The storage areas must be free of corrosive materials and gases.
• To prevent damage to the seals, ozone-forming equipment (for example, mercury-
vapor lamps, high voltage equipment, electric motors, sources of electrical sparks
or electrical discharge) must not be operated in storage areas.
• The storage areas must be dry.
Recommended relative humidity ≤ 60%.
• Ideal storage temperature: +5 °C to +20 °C.
• Minimum storage temperature: -40 °C (exception: units with on-board electronics)
• Maximum storage temperature: +60 °C.
• Keep out of direct sunlight.
• Do not stack axial piston units and store them in a shock-proof manner.
• Do not store the axial piston unit on the drive shaft or assembled parts, for
example, sensors or valves.
• For further storage conditions, see Table 7.
▶ Check the axial piston unit monthly to ensure proper storage.
