Product safety
LUKAS products are developed and manufactured to ensure the best performance and
quality when used as intended.
The safety of the operator is the most important consideration in product design. Furthermore,
the instruction manual is intended to help you use LUKAS products safely.
In addition to the safety instructions in this instruction manual, all generally applicable,
statutory and other binding national and international accident prevention regulations must
be observed and operators must be instructed accordingly!
The traction device may only be operated by persons who have been trained in the relevant
safety regulations – otherwise, there is a risk of injury.
We advise all users to read the operating instructions carefully before using the traction
device and to follow the directions contained therein without restriction.
We further recommend that you have a qualified trainer show you how to use the product.
WARNING / CAUTION!
The operating instructions for accessories must also be taken into account!
Even if you have already received instructions on how to use the equipment, you should still
read through the following safety instructions again.
WARNING / CAUTION!
Please ensure that the accessories you use are appropriate for the maximum
operating pressure and the performance of the rescue device!
Make sure that no body parts or
clothing get caught between the
parts of the traction device.
Working under suspended
loads is not permitted where
such loads are being lifted
only by means of hydraulic
or electro-hydraulic devices.
If this work is unavoidable,
suitable mechanical
supports are also required.
Wear protective clothing,
a safety helmet with visor,
protective footwear and safety
gloves.
Check the traction device
for visible flaws or damage
before and after use.
