2. Product safety
LUKAS products are developed and manufactured to guarantee the best performance and
quality when used properly.
The safety of the operator is the most important consideration in product design. Moreover,
the operating instructions are intended to aid the safe use of LUKAS products.
The generally applicable, legal and other binding regulations pertaining to the prevention of
accidents and protection of the environment apply and are to be implemented in addition to
the operating instructions.
The equipment may only be operated by persons with appropriate training in the safety
aspects of such equipment – otherwise, there is a danger of injury.
We would like to point out to all users that they should carefully read and adhere to the
operating instructions in full before they use the equipment.
We further recommend that a qualified trainer train you in the use of the product.
WARNING / TAKE CARE!
The operating instructions for the hoses, the accessories and the connected
hydraulic equipment must also be observed!
Even if you have already received instructions on how to use the equipment, you should still
read the following safety notes again.
Please ensure that no body
parts or clothing are caught
between the visibly moving
parts (e.g. piston guard plate
and cylinder).
Working under loads is
prohibited if they are raised
exclusively with hydraulic
devices. If this work is
unavoidable, adequate
mechanical supports are
additionally required.

a safety helmet with visor,

gloves
Inspect the device before and
after use for visible defects or
damage
The responsible department
must be informed immediately
of any changes (including to

necessary, the device must
be deactivated immediately
and secured!
Inspect all cables, hoses
and screwed connections
for leaks and externally
visible damage! If necessary,
