5.3 Motor variants
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
For all motor variants, also comply with the separate operating instructions of
each motor manufacturer.
5.3.1 Electric motor
These hydraulic units are equipped with an electric motor. The electric motor is fed with power
from the mains or with power produced by generators. When operating with generators you
must make sure that voltage fl uctuations are not produced because these will have a direct
effect on the feed rate and durability of the hydraulic power unit.
The possible operating voltage and current frequency required can be taken from the
Chapter "Technical Data".
NOTE:
The engine installed in the LUKAS power units does not match every detail of
the engine described in the manufacturer's separate operating instructions. On
account of the specifi c application in rerailing technology, and in order to ensure
the safety of the entire hydraulic power unit, components have been modifi ed
or adapted to suit.
Nevertheless, it is important that you follow all safety rules and operating,
maintenance and storage instructions in the separate engine instructions as
absolute since they are not affected by adjustments made by LUKAS.
The starter battery is automatically charged up by the integrated generator when the engine
is running. If the battery has become fl at after an extended storage period you should start
the unit with the cable-pull starter. This causes the battery to be charged up automatically.
If the battery is still not charged after running for about half an hour it could have the following
causes:
- the contacts (connection plug) have come loose and need to be reconnected.
- battery is defective and needs to be replaced.
- there is damage to the generator or the engine. In these cases you should contact
LUKAS customer service.
5.3.2 Petrol engine
These hydraulic units are equipped with a combustion engine driven by the fuel "petrol".
The units can be fi tted with an electric starter in addition to the cable-pull starter (optional).
NOTE:
When connecting to the mains, if a very long connecting cable is used, the
power supply to the motor may be reduced as a result of the resistance in the
cable. This will reduce the power of the motor.
