High noise development during operation!
Risk of hearing damage or hearing loss!
The noise emission of axial piston units depends on rotational speed,
working pressure and installation conditions, among other factors.
The sound pressure level may rise above 70 dB (A) in certain application conditions.
▶ Always wear hearing protection near a running axial piston unit.
Hot surfaces on axial piston unit!
Risk of getting burnt!
▶ Allow the axial piston unit to cool down sufficiently before touching it.
▶ Wear heat-resistant, protective clothing, e.g. gloves.
Improper cable and line routing!
Risk of stumbling and property damage! Improper routing of cables and lines
can cause a risk of stumbling as well as damage to equipment and components,
e.g. due to lines and connectors being torn off.
▶ Always lay cables and lines so no one can trip over them, they do not become
kinked or twisted, do not rub on edges and do not run through sharp-edged
ducts without adequate protection.
Contact with hydraulic fluid!
Risk of adverse health effects, e.g. eye injury, skin irritation, toxication from
inhalation!
▶ Avoid any contact with hydraulic fluids.
▶ When handling hydraulic fluids, the safety instructions of the lubricant
manufacturer need to be observed at all times.
▶ Use your personal protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶ Immediately seek medical attention, however, if hydraulic fluid gets into your
eyes or blood circuit or if you swallow it accidentally.
Danger from improper handling!
Slip hazard! Risk of slipping on wet surfaces when climbing on the
axial piston unit.
▶ Never grab or climb onto the axial piston unit.
▶ Check how to safely get on top of the machine/system.
2�7 Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is the responsibility of the user of the
