General safety instructions
3.1
Check all parts for damage prior to commissioning.
3.2
Take the environmental conditions into account when using the device and adapt your
personal protective clothing to them. Also, do not forget that the cylinders may heat up over
time. The environmental conditions may also cool them down considerably. Provision must also
be made for these conditions by wearing suitable protective clothing.
3.3
Also note that noise from different sources may cause adverse effects and impede
communication during operation.
Adverse effects during operation are also possible from exhaust fumes. Make sure that there is
sufficient ventilation or that appropriate protective measures have been taken.
The cylinders are connected by hoses that may also present a hazard of stumbling. Make sure that
hoses are routed safely. Take particular account of the fact that escape routes should be provided.
3.4
Make sure that lighting is adequate during working, and that a clear view is provided of the
device so that work is carried out free of danger.
3.5
Make sure that persons cannot be placed in danger from the running device prior to switching
it on, starting it up and during its operation. Also, secure the device against being switched on or
off without authorisation or accidentally.
3.6
Stop and secure the device immediately if there are any malfunctions. Have any defects
rectified immediately.
3.7
Always check that the accessories have been safely stowed away prior to transporting
the device. Bear the weight of the LUKAS rope-lift cylinders in mind during transportation.
3.8
Do not carry out any operation that degrades the device’s stability. Therefore, always use
a base plate (refer to Chapter 9.1). Also, make sure that the ground has sufficient load-bearing
capacity.
3.9
After each use, check the device for any external damage and defects. Report any chan-
ges (incl. changes in the device’s working behaviour) to the relevant organisation/person
immediately. If necessary, stop the device immediately and lock it. Check all lines, hoses and
screwed connections for leaks and externally visible damage. Rectify any damage immediately.
Splashing oil may cause injury and fires.
