9. Repairs
9.1 General information
Servicing may only be carried out by the manufacturer or personnel trained by the
manufacturer and by authorised LUKAS dealers.
Only LUKAS spare parts may be used to replace all components (see spare parts list), as
special tools and compliance with assembly instructions, safety aspects and inspections are
required (see also chapter “Maintenance and Servicing”).
During assembly, ensure that all components are particularly clean, since dirt can
damage the rescue equipment!
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
Protective clothes must be worn when repairs are being carried out, as the
devices may also be pressurised when not in operation.
NOTE:
Always register your device on the LUKAS Hydraulik GmbH website. This is the
only way to guarantee your extended warranty cover.
NOTE:
You should always contact LUKAS or an authorised dealer before using
couplings from another manufacturer.
ATTENTION!
Because LUKAS rescue equipments are appropriate for highest achievements,
only components may be exchanged, which are specified in the spare parts list
of the appropriate equipment.
Other components in the device may only be replaced if:
- You have participated in an appropriate LUKAS service training course.
- You have the explicit permission of LUKAS Customer Service (on request,
verification that permission may be granted. To be checked in each individual
case!)
9.2 Preventative service
A functional test must be carried out after repairs:
Extend the device 2-3 times in the unloaded state so that any air present can escape from
the system.
