Personnel Qualifications - Bosch 70 Series Instruction Manual

10/52 Safety instructions
Bosch Rexroth AG, A2FM/A2FE Series 70, RE 91071-01-B/03.2015
• Use of the axial piston unit under water at a depth of more than 10 meters without
the necessary additional measures, e.g., pressure equalization. Units with electrical
components (e.g., sensors) generally cannot come into contact with water.
• Use of the axial piston unit under a continuous pressure differential between
internal and external pressure greater than 2 bar, whereby the external pressure
must always be lower than the case pressure. Short-term pressure peaks (t < 0.1 s)
of up to 10 bar are permitted. Furthermore, the maximum permissible case
pressure on the data sheet may not 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 94/9/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 mechanical, electrical
and hydraulics expertise, 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 gear and the corresponding attachment equipment.
In order to ensure safe use, these activities may therefore only be performed by
an appropriately qualified person or an instructed person under the direction and
supervision of a qualified person.
Qualified personnel are those who can recognize possible hazards and take the
appropriate safety measures due to their professional training, knowledge and
experience, as well as their understanding of the regulations relevant to the work to
be done. Qualified personnel must observe the rules relevant to the technical field
and have the necessary hydraulics expertise.
Hydraulics expertise includes:
• Reading and fully understanding hydraulic schematics
• Specifically, fully understanding the relationships with regard to safety devices
• Understanding how hydraulic components work and are put together
