2 Safety instructions

2.1 About this chapter

The axial piston unit has been manufactured to generally accepted engineering
standards. There is still, however, a risk of personal injury or property damage if this
chapter and the safety instructions in this documentation are not observed.
▶ Read this documentation completely and thoroughly before working with the axial
piston unit.
▶ Keep this documentation in a location where it is accessible to all users
at all times.
▶ Always include the required documentation when you pass the axial piston unit
on to third parties.

2.2 intended use

Axial piston units are hydraulic components, meaning that in their application
area they are classified neither as complete nor as partly completed machinery
as defined in the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The component is exclusively
intended to form partly completed machinery or complete machinery together with
other components. The component should only be commissioned after it has been
installed in the machine/system for which it is intended and the safety of the entire
system has been established in accordance with the Machinery Directive.
This product is intended for the following use:
The axial piston unit is only approved as a pump for hydrostatic drives in an open
circuit.
▶ Adhere to the technical data, the application and operating conditions, and
the performance limits as specified in the data sheet (Part II) and in the order
confirmation. Information about approved hydraulic fluids can be found in the
data sheet (Part II).
The axial piston unit is only intended for commercial use and not for private use.
Intended use includes having fully read and understood this documentation,
especially chapter 2 "Safety instructions" on page 8.
The axial piston units in explosion-protected design satisfy the requirements of the
EU ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU).
Information on the equipment group and category as defined in the ATEX Directive
(2014/34/EU) can be found on the data sheet (Part II) under application in
accordance with EC directive 2014/34/EU and on the name plate of the axial piston
unit.
Under EC directive 1999/92/EC, the user/operator is required to divide explosive
areas into zones. Chapter 5.3.2 "Explosion protection mark" on page 24 compares
the zones with the equipment groups and categories.
The axial piston unit should only be used in applications specified for the equipment
group and category in Directive 2014/34/EU and according to the areas specified in
the type of protection or in areas (explosion group, temperature class) with lower
requirements. It should be operated in accordance with the technical data and
ambient conditions specified in this directive and in this instruction manual.
