Only LUKAS motor pumps or suitable LUKAS hand pumps may be used to drive the

equipment.

If an other-make pump assembly or hand pump is used, it is necessary to make sure that it

is designed in accordance with LUKAS specifications otherwise hazardous situations could

occur for which LUKAS cannot be held responsible. Particular care must be taken to ensure

that the maximum permissible operating pressure of the connected LUKAS devices is not

exceeded.

NOTE:

Before you use pumps of a different manufacturer, you must contact LUKAS or

an authorised dealer.

The connection between the pump assembly or hand pump and the hydraulic jacks is made

by hose lines.

4.2 Hydraulic supply of jacks

5.1 Basic information

Double-acting, hydraulically operated implements are fitted with a male quick-disconnect

coupling on the pressure supply side (jacks: jack bottom end) and a female quick-disconnect

coupling on the return side (jacks: piston rod end); a pair of extension hoses connect them

to the control unit.

Single-acting, hydraulically operated implements are fitted with a male quick-disconnect

coupling on the pressure supply side; an extension hose line connects it to the pump

assembly or control unit.

All LUKAS extension hose pairs/lines are colour-coded and equipped with quick-disconnect

couplings to minimise the possibility of misconnection.
