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 operating instructions are intended to help in using LUKAS products safely.
In addition to the operating instructions, all generally applicable, statutory and other binding
rules for accident prevention and for environmental protection must be complied with and
instructed.
The equipment must only be operated by persons with appropriate training in the safety
aspects of such equipment – otherwise, there is a danger of injury.
We would like to point out to all users that they should read carefully the operating instructions
and the instructions contained therein before they use the equipment, and that they should
be carefully followed.
We also recommend that you have a qualified trainer show you how to use the product.
WARNING / CAUTION!
The operating instructions for the hoses, the accessories and the connected
devices must also be heeded!
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!
Ensure that the accessories and connected equipment are suitable for the
maximum operating pressure!
Please ensure that no body
parts or clothing are caught
between the visibly moving
parts (e.g. piston claw and
cylinder).
Working under suspended
loads is not permitted where
such loads are being lifted only
using hydraulic devices. If this
work is unavoidable, suitable
mechanical supports are also
required.
Wear protective clothing, safety
helmet with visor, safety shoes
and protective gloves
Check the equipment for
visible flaws or damage before
and after use.
Immediately report any
changes that occur (including
changes in operating
behaviour) to the appropriate
persons/departments! If
necessary, the equipment is to
be shut down immediately and
secured!
Inspect all lines, hoses, and
screwed connections for
leaks and externally visible
damage. If necessary, repair
immediately! Escaping
hydraulic fluid can cause
injuries and fires.
