2. Product safety

LUKAS products are developed and manufactured to ensure the best performance and

quality with intended use.

The safety of the operator is the most important consideration in the 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 heeded and

disseminated.

The device may only be operated by appropriately educated, safety trained persons, since

otherwise there is a risk of injury.

We would like to point out to all users that they should read the operating instructions carefully

before using the equipment and comply with the instructions there without reservation.

We further recommend that a qualified instructor train you in the use of 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 the following safety notes again.

Please ensure that no body

parts or clothing are caught

between the visibly moving

parts (e.g. piston protection

plate and cylinder).

It is prohibited to work under

loads if the load is lifted

exclusively by hydraulic

equipment. If this work

is absolutely imperative,

additional mechanical

supports must be used.

Wear protective clothing,

safety helmet with visor,

safety shoes and protective

gloves

Inspect the equipment before

and after use for visible

defects or damage

The responsible department

must be informed immediately

of any changes (including to

the operating behaviour)! If

necessary, the device must

be deactivated immediately

and secured!

Check all lines, hoses and

screwed connections for

leaks and externally visible

damage. Rectify any damage

immediately. Squirting

hydraulic fluid can result in

injuries and fires.

WARNING / CAUTION!

Ensure that the accessories and connected equipment used are suitable for

the maximum operating pressure!
