Personnel Qualifications - Bosch Rexroth 3 Series Instruction Manual

• Use of the axial piston unit with assembled parts under water at a depth of
more than 10 meters without the necessary additional measures, e.g., pressure
equalization. Units with electrical components (for example, sensors) generally
cannot come into contact with water.
• Use of the axial piston unit under a continuous pressure differential between case
to ambient pressure greater than 2 bar, whereby the ambient pressure must always
be lower than the case pressure. Momentary (t < 0.1 s) pressure peaks of up to
10 bar are permitted. Beyond this, the maximum case pressure specified on the
data sheet cannot be exceeded.
• Use of the axial piston unit in explosive environments unless the component or
machine/system has been certified as compliant with the ATEX directive 2014/34/EC
• Use of the axial piston unit in a corrosive atmosphere
• Use of the axial piston unit in aircraft or spacecraft

2.4 Personnel qualifications

The activities described in this documentation require basic knowledge of
mechanics, electrics, hydraulics and ATEX, as well as knowledge of the associated
technical terms. For transporting and handling the product, additional knowledge
is necessary with regard to working with lifting devices and their slings. In order to
ensure safe use, these activities should only be performed by skilled personnel or an
instructed person under the direction and supervision of skilled personnel.
Skilled persons are those who can recognize possible dangers and take the
appropriate safety measures due to their professional training, knowledge, and
experience, as well as their understanding of the relevant regulations pertaining to
the work to be done. Skilled personnel must follow the rules relevant to their field
and have the necessary hydraulics expert knowledge.
Hydraulic expert knowledge includes:
• Reading and fully understanding hydraulic circuit diagrams,
• especially fully understanding the relationships with regard to safety devices
• and understanding how hydraulic components work and are put together.
