WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
Because of possible spark formation, combustion engine units and electrical
equipment must not be used in an explosion-risk area. Units with combustion
engines must not be used in enclosed spaces, as there is a danger of poisoning
and asphyxiation!
The unit is to be set up in a suitable location (secure location / fl at surface / suffi cient distance
from vehicles, loads, sources of ignition, etc.).
LUKAS units work perfectly at an angle of up to 10°. However, in order to guarantee maximum
safety and function, they should be operated in as horizontal a position as possible.
Proceed as follows to commission:
1. You must fi rst check the level of fl uids in the power unit.
The
hydraulic fl uid level can be seen from the outside on the circular sight window at the
top and at the bottom of the tank. You should be able to see hydraulic fl uid in the top sight
window of the hydraulic tank. Set up the power unit horizontally and on an even surface in
order to be able to read the fl uid levels accurately or to top up. The fuel tank can be fi lled
ATTENTION!
Never mix up the fuel and hydraulic fl uid tanks when fi lling the tank; this can
damage the power unit!
up to the top of the petrol fi lter insert. A maximum of three litres of petrol should be poured
in, however, (correspondingly less if the power unit is resting at an angle).
2. On hydraulic power units with an electric motor, you must now connect the mains plug to
the power supply.
3. The hydraulic power unit must then be bled. Set all levers of the control valves to the
neutral position (see Chapter "Operation"). The actual venting is carried out in the units in
a different manner, depending on the drive motor:
a) Petrol engine:
- remove the plug lead from the sparking plug (on the back of the unit).
- slowly turn the engine over with the starter cable-pull several times.
- then replace the plug lead.
NOTE:
Before commissioning for the fi rst time, or after longer periods of storage, on
units having a combustion engine, you must fi rst connect the starter battery and
check the oil level in the engine! If necessary, top up the engine oil!
For safety reasons, the LUKAS power units are supplied without engine oil,
hydraulic fl uid and fuel!
