1. Introduction
The motors are suitable for both directions of rotation in open and closed
hydraulic circuits.
During operation in open circuit it has to be observed that a load can be reduced
only by means of appropriate check valves. Generally, in case of negative load, it
will be necessary to feed the respective low-pressure side to avoid cavitation.
Care has to be taken for a sufficient secondary protection with feeding between
motor and directional control valve to avoid pressure peaks, excess pressure and
low pressure in any phase of operation.
If the motor and the tank are standing on the same level, it will usually be not
necessary for operation in open circuit to prepressurize the return line, however, it
may be an advantage - depending on working pressure, speed, line routing, line
length and cross section of the lines - to improve the smooth running of the motor.
If the motor is placed above the tank, it will be necessary to prepressurize so that
the return line will not run dry. The drain oil pressure must always be lower (max.
1,5 bar) than the return pressure.
If the motors are not put into operation immediately, they have to be filled up
entirely with the mineral oil to be used for operation through the two main
connections and the drain oil connection - in case of motors with brake and
motors with step variable displacement additionally through the brake lifting
connection or the change-over connection. Then all connections have to be
closed tightly with plugs.
In case of storing the motors several months please contact our service
department for information about the necessary preservation.
Apart from this operation manual, please pay attention to the technical advice
and the performance data given in the catalogue.

3. Safety Advice
Only trained personnel with experience in hydraulics is allowed to carry out any
work at the hydraulic equipment! Connecting lines which will be opened must be
without pressure. Spurting oil may cause injuries and fire!

4. Information for Installation
The motor and the accessory lines have to be installed without stress. Flexible
hose lines or pipes can be used which correspond to the requirements of
pressure stage, temperature and operating medium. Those machine parts which
are connected with the shaft have to be in alignment with the shaft by all means to
protect the motor bearings from impermissible load. The mounting surface for the
motor must be even and resistant to bending.
Elements for transmission like, for example, couplings have to be mounted and
must never be hammered because otherwise the rolling bearings could be
damaged.
In order to avoid an accumulation of heat in the motor casing and to maintain the
lubrication of all sliding parts, the motor has to be installed in that way that the
drain oil connection is pointing upwards and the casing will remain entirely filled. If
the motor is installed with the shaft standing upwards, the motor has to be vented
and the drain oil line has to be installed upwards - at least on the level of the
mounting flange - so that the upper motor bearing will be lubricated.
Before starting the intial operation, the motor casing has to be filled up entirely
with clean operating medium through the highest drain oil connection L. For this
purpose screw out the respective sealing plug by using a spanner with a female
hexagon thread.

Utmost cleanliness is an essential prerequisite for a long service
life and perfect function!
Only after a thorough cleaning and flushing of the piping system, the motor has to
be coupled at the two main connections after removal of the protective covers.
The drain oil line has to be coupled with the highest drain oil connection of the
motor after removal of the respective red plastic plug and has to be laid in that way
that the motor casing cannot run dry in any phase of operation. If there is no red
plastic plug in the upper connection, it must be replaced by a steel plug.
For treating the shaft sealing with care, the drain oil has to be conducted
pressureless and separately to the tank. The cross section of the line should
correspond at least to the size of the drain oil connection.
5. Start-up
After having completely deaerated the hydraulic system, start up the motor with
the lowest setting of the pressure relief valve. Only if the oil is without air bubbles,
adjust the definite rates of pressure and speed. During the start-up procedure,
change over the displacement of the motors type MOS and MOR several times
so that air can escape from the change-over system. The maximum permissible
rates of pressure and speed of the motors must not be exceeded. Motors being
used at low ambient temperatures have to be operated with low output as long as
the heat of the motor casing corresponds to the working temperature. Only then
the motor should be operated with maximum output and speed.
6
The maximum working temperature of + 70° C must not be exceeded in any
case. Greater differences in temperature between motor temperature and oil
temperature have to be avoided.
After the test run, retighten all connections, screw joints etc. at working
temperature.
When starting up, check and clean the filters in short intervals; then clean them
regularly.
The quality of the hydraulic fluid should frequently be checked especially during
the first time after start-up.
Depending on the operating conditions, the first oil change should be done as
soon as possible. For further oil changes contact the oil supplier. The oil supplier
will also give assistance concerning survey and analysis of the oil; make use of
this service. In case of strongly discoloured or dirty oil contact the oil supplier
even before the next stipulated maintenance is due.
7
In case of a breakdown of the control pressure at the change-over connections
U1 and U2, the motor will automatically change over to large displacement.
For the series MOS-05 the displacement can be changed over during operation
and standstill.
For the series MOS-08 the change-over must not be carried out during standstill
in any case.
Due to internal drain oil, the motor yields to load during standstill. Absolute
standstill can be achieved only for motors with a built-on hydraulically released
multi-disk brake (MOB / MOSB). The brake serves as a stopping brake and is
not suitable for dynamic braking action because then the multi-disk would be
destroyed.
In case of a built-on hydraulic brake care has to be taken that the port for brake
lifting will always be without pressure and that the existing control boring will not
be closed because only then the braking torque will have full effect.

6. Suitable Pressure Fluid, Filtering and Temperature
We recommend to use pressure fluids on the basis of mineral oil acc. to group
HLP, DIN 51524, part 2.
The range of viscosity should be within 20 mm²/s and 150 mm²/s, however it may
be increased up to 700 mm²/s for a short time when starting up. The ideal
viscosity, after attaining the working temperature, is about 40 mm²/s. Considering
the permissible viscosity of the pressure fluid, the temperature is within the range
of -25° C and + 70° C.
In case of motor trouble which cannot be eliminated by simple means and in case
of replacing defective parts, please contact the central service department of the
manufacturer:
Repair work must be carried out only in the manfacturer's plant and in authorized
expert machine shops.
