WARNING
Operating fluid under high pressure!
A pressure of several bar can build up in the motor! This pressure escapes when the
screw plugs are opened. If screw plugs are opened without due caution, they can be
ejected at high speed! To avoid injuries, observe the following instructions:
• Adhere to the prescribed sequence of work steps.
• Unscrew the screw plugs slowly, but never unscrew them completely. As soon
as the pressure escapes (audible whistling or hissing of air), stop turning the
screw plug any further!
• When the pressure has completely dissipated, fully unscrew the screw plugs.
• Wear closed safety goggles.
WARNING
Scalding from hot operating fluids!
Hot operating fluids can also spray out when pressure is released. This can result in
scalding! To avoid injuries, the following instructions must be observed:
• Allow the motor to cool down to the ambient temperature before opening the
screw plugs.
• Wear closed safety goggles or face protection and gloves.
