3. Proper use
The LUKAS rerailing system, consisting of actuation, control, traversing and lifting
components, were developed specially for rerailing, erection and maintenance work on rail-
bound vehicle. All or just individual components of the system are used depending on the
requirements.
The accessories necessary for each particular application must be used during each
deployment.
You can obtain accessories and replacement parts for the hydraulic power pack from your
authorised LUKAS dealer!
When carrying out any work, use the control tables described here and the connected hoses
and equipment to ensure that you yourself, the involved and uninvolved persons in the
proximity of the work and objects in closer proximity during the lifting and traversing process
are not endangered.
ATTENTION!
Watch out vigilantly for any leaks in order to avoid threats to the environment.
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
The safety instructions in this operating instruction manual concerning the site of
erection and type of erection must always be observed!
The LUKAS rerailing system is
not explosion protected!
Notes concerning additional measures and the use of additional ancillary equipment and
tools for a derailing in the rail network:
All necessary measures concerning vehicle safety and the rerailing concept
are stipulated, in principle, by the vehicle manufacturer or operator.
You must observe the permissible lifting stroke values and the lifting angles stipulated by the
manufacturer's data.
Once the specifi c securing safety measures have been completed, the manager of the
assisting train will stipulate which working steps and which products are to be used.
The selection of the lifting points, stipulated by the manufacturer, depends on their
accessibility and the associated headroom. In practice, we lift, pack up, move and put down
(often on alternate sides).
The "System Overview" operating instructions describes handling the components of the
LUKAS traversing system for rerailing technology. In addition, you must observe the oper-
ating instructions of the individual components, as listed under heading 4.1. All the warning
and safety instructions in these instructions must also be observed.
This system overview does not make any claims regarding completeness, all the possible
dangerous events and accident scenarios in the rail network. In your actions you should
act responsibly in the spirit of safety at work.
For the products, ancillaries and any other technical systems that are used in addition to
the components of the LUKAS rerailing technology, their manufacturers are responsible
and any operating instructions provided for them by third parties must also be observed.
