2.5 General safety instructions
• Observe applicable accident prevention and environmental protection regulations.
• Observe the safety regulations of the country in which the product is used/
operated.
• Use Rexroth products only when they are in good working order.
• Observe all notices on the product.
• Do not install, operate, remove or maintain Rexroth products if under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or medication that may affect your reaction time.
• Only use genuine Rexroth accessories and spare parts to ensure there is no risk to
personnel from unsuitable spare parts.
• Observe the technical data and ambient conditions specified in the product
documentation.
• If unsuitable products are installed or used in applications that are of relevance to
safety, unexpected operating conditions may occur in the application, which could
result in personal injury or property damage. For this reason, only use the product
in safety-relevant applications if this use is expressly indicated and approved in
the product documentation, e.g., in explosion protection applications or in safetyrelated parts of a control system (functional safety).
• Only commission the product if it has been determined that the end product
(e.g., machinery or system) in which the Rexroth products are installed complies
with the country-specific provisions, safety regulations and standards for the
application.
• Use tools appropriate for the work being performed and wear appropriate
protective clothing to prevent punctures and cuts (e.g. when removing protective
covers, disassembly).
• There is a risk of entanglement when operating the axial piston unit with a bare
shaft end. Check whether or not your machine requires additional safety measures
for your application. If necessary, make sure these are properly implemented.
• Depending on the type of control used, electromagnetic effects can be produced
when using solenoids. The use of the direct current (DC) on the electromagnet
does not produce any electromagnetic interference (EMI), nor is the electromagnet
influenced by EMI. Potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) exists if the
solenoid is energized with a modulated direct current (e.g. PWMsignal). The
machine manufacturer should conduct appropriate tests and take appropriate
measures to ensure that other components or operators (e.g.with a pacemaker)
are not affected by this potentiality.

12/60 Safety instructions
2.6 Product-specific safety instructions
The following safety instructions apply to chapters 6 to 14.
WARNING
Danger from excessive pressure!
Risk of death or injury, or property damage!
Improperly changing the factory pressure settings can result in a pressure increase
beyond the max. permissible pressure.
Operating the unit above the max. permissible pressure can cause components to
burst and hydraulic fluid to escape under high pressure.
▶ Changes to the factory settings may only be made by Bosch Rexroth specialists.
▶ In addition, a pressure relief valve is required in the hydraulic system as a back-
up. If the axial piston unit is equipped with a pressure cut-off and/or pressure
controller, this is not an adequate safeguard against pressure overload.
Danger from suspended loads!
Risk of death or injury, or property damage!
Improper transportation may cause the axial piston unit to fall down and lead to
injury, e.g. crushing or fracture, or damage to the product.
▶ Make sure that the load bearing capacity of the lifting device is sufficient to
safely bear the weight of the axial piston unit.
▶ Never stand or reach under suspended loads.
▶ Make sure the unit remains stable during transport.
▶ Wear your personal protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles, safety gloves,
suitable working clothes, safety shoes).
▶ Use suitable lifting devices for transportation.
▶ Observe the prescribed position of the lifting strap.
▶ Observe the national laws and regulations on occupational health and safety,
and transportation.
System/machine under pressure!
Risk of death or serious injury when working on unsecured machines/systems!
Risk of property damage!
▶ Switch off the entire system and secure it against reactivation according to the
parameters provided by the machine/system manufacturer.
▶ Make sure all relevant components in the hydraulic system are depressurized.
Follow the machine/system manufacturer's specifications.
▶ Note that the hydraulic system may still may be under pressure even after the
pressure supply itself has been disconnected.
▶ Do not disconnect any line connections, ports or components as long as the
hydraulic system is under pressure.
Bosch Rexroth AG, A10VO, A10VSO Series 31, RE 92701-01-B/04.2018
Safety instructions 13/60
WARNING
Escaping hydraulic fluid mist!
Risk of explosion and fire, health hazard, risk of environmental pollution!
▶ Depressurize the relevant machine/system component and repair the leak.
▶ Only perform welding work when the machine/system is depressurized.
▶ Keep open flames and ignition sources away from the axial piston unit.
▶ If axial piston units are located in the vicinity of ignition sources or powerful
thermal radiators, a shield must be erected to ensure any escaping hydraulic
fluid cannot be ignited, and to protect hose lines from premature aging.
Electrical voltage!
Risk of injury from electric shock or risk of property damage!
▶ Always disconnect the relevant part of the machine/system before installing the
product or when inserting/removing connectors. Protect the machine/system
against being re-energized.
Restriction of control function!
Risk of injury or property damage!
Moving parts in control equipment (e.g.valve spools) can, under certain
circumstances, get stuck in position as a result of contamination (e.g.impure
hydraulic fluid, abrasion, or residual dirt from components). As a result, the
hydraulic fluid flow and the build-up of torque in the axial piston unit can no longer
respond correctly to the operator’s specifications. Even the use of various filter
elements (external or internal flow filtration) will not rule out a fault but merely
reduce the risk.
▶ Check whether your application requires that remedial measures be taken
on your machine in order to bring the driven consumer into a safe position
(e.g. safe stop).
▶ If necessary, make sure these are properly implemented.

CAUTION
High noise development during operation!
Risk of hearing damage or hearing loss!
The noise emission of axial piston units depends on, among other factors,
rotational speed, working pressure and installation conditions. 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 burning!
▶ 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

Risk of property damage due to inadequate lubrication!
Product can be damaged or destroyed!
▶ Never operate the axial piston unit with insufficient hydraulic fluid. Specifically,
make sure that the rotary group has sufficient lubrication.
▶ When commissioning a machine/system, make sure that the housing area and
the working lines of the axial piston unit are filled with hydraulic fluid and
remain filled during operation. Avoid air inclusions in the forward drive shaft
bearing, especially with the axial piston unit installed with the drive shaft up.
▶ Check the hydraulic fluid level in the housing regularly and recommission, if
necessary. For above-reservoir installation, the housing may drain out through
the drain line after prolonged standstill periods (air enters through the shaft
seal) or through the working line (gap leakage). This means the bearings are
insufficiently lubricated when the system is turned on.
▶ Make sure the suction line is always filled with hydraulic fluid during
commissioning and operation.
▶ With above-reservoir installation, an axial piston unit must be moved to full
swivel angle after no more than three seconds during commissioning and
recommissioning. Make sure that the axial piston unit really does suck in
hydraulic fluid and build up pressure.
Mixing hydraulic fluids!
Product can be damaged!
▶ Before installation, remove all fluids from the axial piston unit to prevent mixing
with the hydraulic fluid used in the machine/system.
▶ Never mix hydraulic fluids from different manufacturers or different types from
the same manufacturer.
