4.5 Optional accessories
4.5.1 Pedestal
The pedestal is intended to provide safe support for the control unit and to enable the
operator to work standing up.
The control unit is fitted to the pedestal as follows:
1. Loosen connection “F” approximately 15 mm (in.)
on pedestal “G”.
2. Fit control unit “J”, mounted on leg “H”, onto the
pedestal and retighten connection “F” on both sides.
3. Removal in reverse order.

4.5.2 Pressure gauge
To supplement the pressure gauge already fitted to the control unit, it is possible to fit an
additional pressure gauge for each pressure line so that you can read the pressure acting on
the implement. There are two possible installation arrangements. One directly between the
control unit and the hose line of the individual pressure line outlets on the switch valves, and
one that requires an extra measurement hose, which taps the pressure directly at the switch
valve. The measurement hose solution requires a special mounting plate for the pressure
gauge units. To find out more about optional pressure gauges, please contact your autho-
rised LUKAS dealer.
5.1 Basic information
Double-acting, hydraulically operated implements are fitted with a male quick-disconnect
coupling on the pressure supply side (with cylinders: cylinder bottom end) and a female
quick-disconnect coupling on the return side (with cylinders: piston rod end); these are
connected to the control desk by a pair of extension hoses (nominal diameter DN 6).
Single-acting, hydraulically operated implements are fitted with a male quick-disconnect
coupling on the pressure supply side; this is connected to the control desk by an extension
hose line (nominal diameter DN 10).
The connection between the control desk and the
hydraulic unit is always established by
means of extension hose lines (nominal diameter DN 10).
All LUKAS extension hose pairs/lines are colour-coded and equipped with quick-disconnect
couplings to minimise the possibility of misconnection.
