7.3  Installation position

The axial piston unit can be installed in the following positions. The pipeline routing 
shown illustrates the basic layout.

7.3.1  Below-reservoir installation (standard)

Below-reservoir installation is when the axial piston unit is installed outside 
of the reservoir below the minimum fluid level.

Recommended installation position: 1 and 2.
