3. Proper use
LUKAS eDRAULIC devices have been specially designed to rescue or retrieve the bodies of
victims of road, rail or aircraft accidents or to be used during rescue operations from buildings.
LUKAS eDRAULIC cutting and combination devices are used to free injured persons at accident
scenes by cutting through doors, roof beams and hinges. LUKAS eDRAULIC spreaders and
combination devices can also be used to free persons who have become trapped by pushing
open doors or removing obstacles with the aid of a chain set. LUKAS eDRAULIC rescue
rams are used to free persons who have become trapped during a car accident when the
spreader does not open wide enough (for example by spreading or lifting parts of vehicles).
During other catastrophic events, rescue rams and spreaders can also be used to move
objects to rescue persons who have been buried or trapped.
LUKAS eDRAULIC devices are NOT suitable for underwater use.
The generally applicable, legal and other binding national and international regulations
pertaining to the prevention of accidents and protection of the environment apply and are to
be implemented in addition to the operating instructions.

inspection and maintenance conditions.
