Other hydraulic fluids require preservation methods that are specifically designed for them. In such cases, consult Bosch Rexroth Service, see Chapter 10.5 “Spare parts” on page 43. Bosch Rexroth recommends the following procedure: Clean the axial piston unit, see Chapter 10.1 “Cleaning and care” on page 41.
A check valve in the drain line (cracking pressure 0.5 bar) can prevent the system from emptying through the drain line. Please note the correct flow direction. ▶ To keep noise down, decouple all lines from all vibration-capable components (e.g., reservoir) using elastic elements. RE 91071-01-B/03.2015, A2FM/A2FE Series 70, Bosch Rexroth AG...
If the material number for the axial piston unit does not correspond to the one in the order confirmation, contact Bosch Rexroth Service for clarification, see Chapter 10.5 “Spare parts” on page 43. Before installing, completely empty the axial piston unit to prevent mixing with the hydraulic fluid used in the machine/system.
Details on the required tools and tightening torques for the mounting bolts are available from the machine/system manufacturer. When using flexible couplings, check that the drive is free of resonance after completing the installation. RE 91071-01-B/03.2015, A2FM/A2FE Series 70, Bosch Rexroth AG...
Use a suitable tool for this to prevent damage to the sealing and functional surfaces. If sealing or functional surfaces are damaged, contact your Bosch Rexroth service partner or the service department of the manufacturer's plant for the axial piston unit.
Setting screws are protected against unauthorized resetting by means of protection caps. Removal of the protection caps will void the warranty. If you need to change settings, contact your Bosch Rexroth service partner (for address, see Chapter 10.5 “Spare parts” on page 43).
